All I did was focus on the things that I could produce and control and the funny thing, we just naturally grew apart.  

Naturally, I'm thinking 'I need to send her a letter'.

There are many different type of partnerships that I have been involved with some real estate, some media, some tech companies and other business ventures.Some partners are more permanent in nature but I like to test it out with partnering on a couple of deals first.

When going through the process for both at the same time, naturally the bank had a few questions.  

Target industries include IT/data, logistics/warehousing and advanced manufacturing.South Bend being a college town with several Universities/Colleges (Notre Dame obviously being the largest one) creates student housing opportunities for approximately 20,000 plus students among all the institutions.All this spells opportunity and many out of town, out of state and even international investors have and continue to try and claim their stake.As indicated by @Immanuel Price and @Aaron Linden the University of Notre Dame in partnership with the City of South Bend has contributed a lot to the revitalization of the City that is bringing new jobs and the need for new housing.

Granted it could have been user error, but it seems like it just didn't adhere well to the glossy nature of the laminate.  

If you were to think like Warren Buffett, this would be the time to Sell and wait for the next bottom in the RE Cycle to Buy at a natural discount instead of searching for a Deal.

I wasn't this to be natural bit any tips you can give me.

Sorry, don't want to highjack the OP thread and question, but the ruuuurrrralll (as @Brandon Turner put it) nature of buy/holds is a nut that I don't think I have ever heard really answered. 

South of Woodlawn as you get closer to San Pedro creek is going through some revitalization but there are plenty of shabby properties.
