When you model that out it's a loser usually UNLESS dirt is incredible and you want them to leave to knock the building down and redevelop at much higher rents.

For buyers, the current environment offers the chance to negotiate better deals, particularly in areas where sellers are more motivated.

One thing to note is that property taxes are much higher, and the city enforces rental inspections more than any other market I am aware of.Having owned 100 unit rental portfolio's previously in numerous states, I think that DSM, and suburbs have incredible upside, but the key is management.

But to start charging these incredibly high monthly fees if no money has been made on my end makes it almost impossible to keep up with those charges.

Please send me a message.Hi Gage, you have a lot of experienced people on BP willing to help, but they are not going to be motivated by a free meal.

HHI is seasonal and some sellers get motivated to sell late fall through the end of the year.

Ive found that offers with quick expatriations are either incredibly strong, or incredibly weak, with virtually none in between. 

You want them to earn as much revenue for you as possible and them to be motivated to do that.

Anyway, thanks for the note  I hear you on reducing stress, not sure of your age, but I won't 'go there' on the stress and quality of life side of things....I'm more patient than I used to be for sure.As far as what could be next - sounds incredibly non sensical and irresponsible - yet, move it all including yourself to a Colorado ski town.

Seeing investors successfully build their portfolios, and being allowed to be a part of it, is an incredible thing.Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your journey!
