This now becomes an international issue since you are a foreign investor. 

Furnished rentals work well in studios especially and can net substantially higher rent than a long term lessee (the hotel room effect).Would target key tech areas to get all the interns and other busy spots near downtown / Santana Row.

Most of the academic research I've seen suggests that its becoming more and more of an option as a "starter home" that gets people out of apartment buildings.I'd be curious if you have heard/read something else.

Dave,The contract already has this paragraph:"if Seller or Purchaser is or may in the future be under contract with a qualified intermediary for the purpose of effecting a tax-deferred exchange in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, each party consents to the assignment of this contract to such intermediary.

However, I felt some serious deception throughout the entire process and I have to wonder how some of these guys cope internally with the methods of this business model.

When analyzing new projects, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is a metric that most people use to compare different deals.

Hi everyone

I came across the BNI network. Has anyone (who is a real estate agent) been part of it now or before? If so, what is /was your experience like?

Feel free to DM me as well.

Thanks so much!

I'm interning in brokerage at Marcus & Millichap this summer and I'm looking for off-market NNN deals for an exchange buyer.If anyone has any tips for finding off market deals I'd love to hear them.

<--- all of this is very academic coming from me because I've not had a bad tenants, I've just studied a lot about landlords in Ontario who have and made sure I didn't do what they did (non-professional, emotional, giving leeway and chances, not doing proper tenant screening, not setting expectations).

I also played sports during my college career (swimming), nationally and internationally.
