This new nickname worked great for a while until I realized the power of what I had just discovered. 

I bought the property 8 years ago and realized in two years as it is not right place to invest.

The taxing officials realize that there is no one around to protest these sorts of increases, so it is always attractive fruit to pick. 

Realize how far that you have come, and look at the projected next 10 years to see what you may have coming.

A lot of people have fallen asleep at the wheel when it comes to that issue and the risk is that, once people realize how bad it is, they will stampede out of the market and there might not be buyers at any price.

Sometimes buyers don't realize all the houses a buyer agent had to preview (in previous deals, and just agent walkthroughs) to get the neighborhood vibe and trend...numbers and data don't tell the whole truth.I hope that after a year or two of the new rules enough buyers (who got burned) will see that having someone experienced represent and protect their interests is a darned great idea. 

Fuel for the day: I realized one thing I should be buying in bulk is coffee, I sure have enough.

I realize some of these questions would require a real estate attorney, but hoping I can get some insights and perspective from others who might have experience.

One of my first investments was a 40-unit apartment complex and I quickly realized that I preferred single-family homes.

i realize the market has changed in the last 2.5 years, but value adds can still be performed.
