If I were a betting man the company is folding up and this dutch character is out there doing the guru circuit as only source of $ and idiots will pay for training from someone like this.  

This buyer sent it to the title company to hold.The fact that I am not holding his deposit nor do I have the power or authority to sign the paperwork to get his deposit released just further illustrates how much of a slimy move it is for Josh to try to attack my character.

But this is the kind of character I would want all of my business partners to have.  

Where I am, the market has been flat and down for a long time.

It's not the best place to invest in real estate, though having said that, I did recently purchase a flat.

.✅ Secondly, good cause has a max cap on yearly rental increases at a certain margin above CPI or 10%, whichever is less.For those of you who own stabilized, high quality housing like we do, this shouldn’t be a problem.But instead of keeping rents flat because you are a nice person or increasing just a little bit, you could get yourself in trouble when it comes to funding future major repairs and capital expenditures.As long as you are increasing to what the market will bear, you will be in good shape.Also if you are looking at purchasing blighted, dilapidated housing with the intent of raising rents and financing improvements to the property, you will have to take this into consideration and buy accordingly and on in place rents not projected rents.On the implementation side, however that pans out, you might be able to get these necessary rent increases to finance repairs but you may need to go to housing court in order to get the green light but we are just not sure at this point and remains to be seen.✅ Thirdly, in regard to objectionable tenancy and nuisance caused by disruptive tenants, you will need to document these violations with undeniable evidence.Because police reports are not usually able to be procured due to disturbances like drug trafficking or domestic violence, you’ll need to take matters into your own hands on producing that documentation.I recommend getting security cameras installed in all common areas and outside your properties.I’ve used SimpliSafe security cameras but you’ll need to install WiFi service at your properties so that you can maintain recordings in the event of violations and add to your lease that any tampering with said cameras constitutes a lease violation as well.This is still developing and once we get further clarity, we will host a round table with legal experts on how to best protect our properties and residents.

Markets stay flat for five years and you've been bleeding cash then what?

In markets like Raleigh, some agents now work on retainer or flat fees instead of commission splits.Why Commit?

You don’t want to manage passwords, have guests making purchases against your account, have your account locked out, or explain to your cleaner how to find the % character on a 9 button TV remote do you? 

BUT in vast majority of cases the % rate at which they are being assessed against the property value has laid flat or gone DOWN, not up.
