My friends will laugh and tell me I am losing out on sooooo much opportunity because my rents are 1/10th what they could be if I converted to STR but some day I will laugh when they go belly up in the down market while my tenant filled units keep chuggin along.

Thinking worst case, if structure A tenants went belly up, if I were to rent structure A at $25 sq foot, the cap rate then is about 8.5% which isn't bad. 

No increase in rents nor value and the juice might not be worth the squeeze. 

This looks like it might be a house where the juice ain't worth the squeezin'. 

No amount of juice at BofA will get them to sell that property to you.If it has not been foreclosed, then find the owner, make an offer, and get it under contract.

I don't remember exactly, but I do remember my agent indicated they were a little light by today's standards in terms of the amount of juice they were bringing. 

At the moment I'm on unit 5 so the more I can "juice my gains" by managing things myself, the better (financially at least).

Is that the real estate downturn, or the oil downturn, gold downturn, silver, hog bellies or whatever they're trading an hour or so south of me in Chicago  . . . and of course for all of those downturns, you can find the exact opposite predictions from SOMEONE for anything and literally you could spend all of 2017 watching non stop youtube videos, listening to "financial whiz" podcasts and interviews, there's the screaming "I'm bald but refuse to do the shave your whole head trend since I'm too busy screaming about stocks all of the time" stock dork on CNBC or wherever he is (maybe MSNBC-oh wait, they've got the entire on air staff on 24/7 suicide watch since the election results came in at MSNBC) Anyway, point is that you can literally find someone pushing ANY prediction and what is also very troubling is that MANY who push the "downturn" scenarios and ESPECIALLY the "major downturn" or even the incredible # of "global economic collapse is any day now, might even be tomorrow!!"
