@Ken Boone I'll tell you what, the first time your Mobile App says "Mouse Caught" and alerts you of one, it's a rush...won't lie.And they are contained and a quick "kill" with the shock, so no mouse squeaking on a glue trap.

Go to meetups and you'll be shocked how many deals can come your way.

You'd be shocked how often I have to reference.  

Recently I purchased 3 additional units and was shocked to find out the cost of insuring them….it is outrageous.

After reading some responses, I'm shocked to see those crazy rates.

I was fairly shocked to see most are $2k+ per year or $300-$500 a month for their services.

I've been approved for substantially bigger loans, with less reported income & was shocked. 

This also greatly reduces the tenant “shock” since a small increase every year is much less than a big lump sum increase every 3-5 years.I try to keep my rents a little lower than market rate so it is easier to find tenants.Another way to soften the blow is to print a recent article on rent increases in your area.

Imagine having to move out your tenants (who are angry and shell shocked because all of their personal belongings were destroyed), rip out your flooring and drywall, dry out for a week or two, and put everything back together - All while dealing with a remediation company who has 15 other jobs on the go at the same time as yours, and a GC who also has 15 other jobs on the go at the same time as yours, and dealing with your insurance adjuster (remember, the whole neighborhood got flooded, not just you).

I believe in a market such as this, it’s not a shock for the buyer to cover the closing costs
