@Jay Hinrichs , I know you're active during all parts of the cycle, but are you watching the time exposure a little more closely now when you're lending on deals?

You should list and get way more exposure!

Cold call as many PMs and Agents as you can, some will be extremely helpful, other will not be so don't limit your exposure to just one or 2 opinions.  

No way to predict that kind of disaster nor its impact.In Calif, we have exposure to earthquakes, even more than you at the upper end of the Cascades, and frequently have to deal with seismic certifications. 

Another disadvantage is by not closing, in the name of a LLC, you cannot take full advantage of the Federal Tax Code and minimize your Tax Exposure. 

Enjoy the fruits of your labor today, exit as the market is high and demand is high, reinvent your strategy, turnkey as a lifestyle is something you will soon be able to capture, seems that you may be leaning in this direction fairly strong.You need to calculate your risk and rewards, you time saved, your ability to maximize your current exposure and define if the risk model is greater or lesser.

Encryption is irrelevant and unnecessary.In 18yrs, I've only had less than a handful of applicants object to the SSN request based upon concerns for ID theft (actually bright people and informed on the issue), but FAXing removes the exposure to hacking to get it.

Including this in the leasing fee maximizes exposure and invites other professionals to bring quality candidates to apply, because we share commissions.  

If I were investing in SC, it'd be Charleston, Columbia and Clemson, the latter two simply for the university exposure.

Should be about $300-$400 and then you will be getting the proper exposure.
