Are you buying 50 SFRs over the span of 10 years or an 80 unit building next week?

If you don't know. the average life span of a builder is 6.7 years according to National Association of Builders, because they make very little $.

Certain materials have predictive life-spans and maintenance costs, so choosing the most durable materials with the lowest maintenance costs is best.   

To add insult to injury, I spent 5 hours on my last day in Miami cleaning that place spic and span...baseboards, window sills, everything, the works. 

I would gladly pay if it meant a more stable service.Kent I was just at a conference and these stats were communicated.The average start–up life span is 4yrs for companies using technology.

@jeffersonkimI'm sure one can imagine the benefits even of Google Earth Free - tour potential neighborhoods to evaluate quality overall, using satellite images taken over the span of many years to track residential and commercial development in a neighborhood or town.Where Google Earth Pro (GEP) sets itself apart from the free version is in its GIS data integration.  

Anything left off the paper will be subject to at least 11 different assumptions2) A qualified and unaffiliated attorney must draft it--no brother in laws, cousins or what have you.3) Everyone must be clear on who makes the decisions and what power they have to acquire and disposeMy father was an attorney and had clients that hired him over divisions of a collectively family owned bunch of real estate....the cases collectively lasted over 15 years and spanned 3 generations. 

Anywhere in Canada is fine as my portfolio spans several provinces. 

But, if track record was required, then no one would be in the game.Looking at household names, what was Mark Zuckerberg's track record of running websites that span the world or Jeff Bezo's track record of retail and logistics before they just got started?  

A reserve study is a report that evaluates the condition of the HOA’s common areas (roof, gate, pool, sidewalks etc) and provides the remaining “life span” of those components.
