Ok, sorry, sorry, couldn't resist.

As one becomes vacant, rents raised 3-6% with no resistance.

Just following the path of least resistance.

Remember that most of the time the core of engineered wood is MDF which has no resistance to moisture what so ever.

While some of my neighbors would resist such a plan tooth and toenail, I would probably have support from the planing commission if I proposed such a change.

Which would mean for most of the time you would have an electrical resistant heat, the least efficient, but depending on your KW costs, could still be cheaper.I would think, short of going all out with solar, wind or drilling an oil well, the cheapest way to go is go with the flow of what is most common in your area.

Brian,I noticed this string is pretty old, but it's so on point I couldn't resist commenting.... we realized that the Greater Cleveland "METRO" (as Dionte aptly put it) had a tremendous demand for SFR rentals.

Then READ the question again to make sure that it is asking what you think it's asking.After you've got an answer, unless another question points you at a different answer, resist the urge to go back and change your answers... sometimes a gut response is the correct response.Most of all, take your time.

If there was any resistance, I would explain it does not matter if I am payin one dollar or makin only one dollar, you are buyin it at that price because you like the deal.

Just Kidding, sometime these "Guru's" seem to be offering just that...as someone with a background in sales, I find it to be intellectually offensive.Jason Gilbert was just that, his "course" was pretty much this...find a distressed "Recession Resistant" improved property such as a self storage facility...convince the owner to sign it over via a MLO (Master Lease Option) based on it's current under performing state.So your asking the owner to Lease it to you for the SAME amount of income it's currently generating...Improve the properties performance (raise the NOI-lower expenses) to gain instant Positive Cash Flow, any income the property generates above and beyond the Lease rate is pocket cash.Exit...either exercise your option and buy then re-finance or flip etc.O.K., sounds great, in fact in theory it is great.
