They wouldn't have any skin in the game and could just walk away and leave you high and dry if things go wrong with the property.

It is usually fairly cut and dried.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

There was more competition on the wash & fold side as there were definitely other companies operating in the area.Self-service was about half of our revenue and dry cleaning/wash & fold made up the other half.

My view if/when 10yr yield rates come back down to sub 3.75, there'll be a lot less dry powder on the sidelines after the initial euphoric lift which may be influenced by seasonality but will not show any real course of duration.

We are attempting to get an eviction date, but could not pass a lead paint inspection because the weather is so cold in Cleveland that the paint will not dry.
