The GC and the sub ended up sharing in the cost mostly (I think) because it was better than the finger pointing game that had already started, and realistically the attorney's were the only ones about to win...

Exposure is the name of the game.

Good listings are a people game, not anything you have at the bottom of your post.

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

These will be LTRs and I will most definitely be playing the long game with these.In addition, as rates go down in the future (hopefully) I plan to refinance as most of us do.

It isn't the metric you can talk about on a national scale, but if you keep buying the same product in the same area it is a very easy quick and dirty method to know how you are doing compared to other buys.

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

What tools or strategies are you using to stay ahead of the game?
