I second that notion. 

@Tamara Ratcliffe i wish people would drop the notion that employers just walk into their businesses looking for who the can fire that day.

Keep sending them unenforceable notices of cure/quit and see if they don't get a notion to file suit for your repeated intrusion upon seclusion.

All they have is the notion that prices have gone up a lot in the last years, and everyone remembers that for past decades no house on the street sold for over 50k - that will work against them.

I have been all over Rentometer, Zillow, Craigslist, Roomies, all kinds of other posts or tools, but the resources for "by the bedroom" are not as precise or dependable, and I just don't feel confident enough about these would-be numbers to make a choice..Feel free to voice any thoughts or useful advice, or point to any resource or hidden notion I'm missing that any experienced RE investor might be able to contribute :)

However, cap rate in real estate is somewhat a notional concept, unlike a yield which is driven by, hopefully, a fixed or perhaps increasing distribution.Does that make any sense?

And I will second the notion. 

The people who I'm calling "unconscious renters" will more likely be financially steady enough to pay rent on time for 10+ years, but are trapped by their own pre-conceived notions of money, spending, and life.

Independently of all the wonderful claims the syndicator or turnkey seller makes.Lots of folks in real estate promote the notion that real estate is better than stocks because you have control over a real asset instead of just a share in a company where you have no control or visibility of the inner workings.  

After listening to several top wholesalers speak in person and on podcasts, it destroyed my notion that all sellers think like I/We do.
