Been educating myself for a while now and understand the basics of the process.

It's interesting to me how some of you respond on a public forum vs those who privately DM and want my business.

Preemptively talking through issues that may arise (lowering rent, no payment for the month, big maintenance item, accounting error on your end) helps build that.Bring options to the table and educate the owner.

As you approach your next purchase, start talking to lenders about pre-approval, build investment criteria, and continue educating yourself on market trends.Good luck!

We all know you won't do that because everything you say is hot air and not in line with what is publicly available as proof.Good luck.

I do not wish to say anything in a public forum.  

Cities like Minneapolis, Boston, and Atlanta are showing how public parks can do more than provide green space—they can drive commercial development and job growth.

You might want to elaborate more what you’re suggesting to the public. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
