What the difference, well a declining market is one where the whole is reducing from fundamental factors, a restricted one, which we are in, is where desired economic activity is restricted and with that it builds tension, like a spring, and as restriction are removed that tension is expressed by massive economic boom.

That risk muscle is something that has to be built.  

And BTW, there is a cray amount of tension on a double counter spring. 

I don't spend my time on the other 93% who think selling on the MLS is the solution for them.Once I meet with them and I can see that I can solve their problem (I don't buy every house I have the opportunity to buy, some are just too much work to repair, others are too small, too large, under a high tension power line etc) I explain to them that I won't be charging the 6% fee real estate agents charge because I'm not a real estate agent.

But, since you're on a month to month contract, if you want to leave, you just have to give 30 days notice.Then, they (the complainers) will usually find a few maintenance things they want fixed, just to flex their muscles a bit, which we would take care of, and then everybody calms down again.I also never had anyone move over an increase.  

For most tenants, just knowing that their maintenance issue has been received and is scheduled to be handled resolves a lot of the tension and concern. 

But you do not have to flex that muscle.

Like working out at a Gym to build muscle you must leave one comfort zone for heavier weights, e.g. put down the 20# dumbbells and pick up the 25# dumbbells and then the 30# dumbbells.1031 Exchanging is no different.

I would be the muscle and they are the $.  

Built those arm muscles up and your thighs, tell that child to go an a damn diet... lift her up and start running from that lion.. or better yet.. take a stick  and beat the living crap out of that lion with it and say to hell with you.
