We knew obviously the numbers look good, but we were terrified of working with that clientele, plus doubted if we could even get the units rented...Yea we missed on that too, 1 beds are going for $700-900, and those same buildings are going for well over $400K now, and need WAY more work then the place this guy was literally begging us to take.Does that mean its easy in Detroit?

Personally I would do the same thing but I am terrified of public speaking and my family would think I was ridiculous if I tried to be a guru. 

I've still yet to hear about any of the slip and fall suits that everything is terrified of but has never seen in practice.

Oooor is this just all talk on how everyone else is supposed to be terrified and running from REI, just like every previous WRONG prediction of doom. 

@Jay Hinrichswell this thread is just a tad terrifying.
