Conversely, IMO, if they DO WORK, then the environment doesn't matter all that much.Yeah, I'm asserting that California issues, Class {b,c,d}, the street appeal, and your exit plan can all be factored into some $$ value that leads to a go-no-go decision on the REI. 

My husband does Locum Tenens and hospitalsSuch as UW, others will lease short term for 3-6Months at high rates, all inclusive to house their Locums.

To break it down very simply, architects see buildings as environments for people to house specific activities while real estate professionals (developers) see buildings as investments. 

Very bad for seller.Your preference should be a promissory note secured by an All-Inclusive Trust Deed.  

@Andrew Michael  your are exactly correct the PUMP and DUMP due DILIGENCE schemes are rampant on sites like this.think about it  is there a more target rich environment for scammers than BP a site that is loaded with first time folks who even make post that they are first timers and new investors .. what is a very innocent post turns out to be a lead for a scammer...

There's nothing you can do to effect the economic environment around you.

Have not hung my license yet, I’m currently in the interviewing phase.I’m really looking for an office with a mentorship environment at this point, since I such a newbie in RE.As far as an area I’m looking something in theDuPage County- Elmhurst, Oak Brooke, Glen Ellyn etc.

I have always loved working with my hands and I am looking to gain financial independence by byielding my assests, and real estate renting seems like an awesome environment to do both.

If you are OK with paying taxes now you can invest in a tax-free environment for the rest of your life!
