They are also a retail store (the only retail in the building) and they have been putting goods for sale out on the sidewalk during the day.I don’t like it, but they are a long term tenant and I don’t want their first impression of me to be a jerk trying to throw my weight around...How should I approach this issue?

Some of my thoughts regarding the survey as it pertains to San Diego: 1) our best purchase ever was in Sept 1999 when we were last in the better rent than buy category 2) the cash flow in San Diego has always ranged between poor and ok.

The past few years have been heavily focused on VA loans so I’m really knowledgeable in that category (100% VA financed 4plex anyone?)

The software works well for small mutli-family, and they recently added new categories to allow me to track my flips too. 

@Christopher Bennage  Land development is a whole different category. 

These would be lower cap rates and really no opportunity to improve, add value and pull cash out - not in the near future at least.My guess is that over half the multifamily being purchased is happening in one of these two categories.

(I'm running on a deficit already)My rentals are all BRRRRs and it seems some of the cost of the (R)ehab fall under the accelerated depreciation category.
