Our strip malls are loosing the anchor stores and all the small spaces are vacant and have been for some time now.

I was consistently nailed for loose hand rails, smoke detectors with the batteries taken out, Fire extinguishers out of date or not in place, loose door knobs, typical renter mentality stuff, the lines in the parking lot were not dark enough one year.

I am assuming this nullifies my initial offer so that I am not bound to anything if I don't sign it within the 2 days they have given me?

Since you already have it in hand, I believe you are bound by law, at least here in CO, to refund the rent from the time period when its re-rented.

After I get a harness on it, I set it loose to fuel my daily efforts.

Use 50% as the lower bound and look out for anything that's making them higher than that.

If you happen to live in one, as I do, you must invest abroad.I also agree with Mike that investing longer distance can add "risk" but the word risk is a very loose term.

According to Martin's research, at least 929,000 square metres were imported through Vancouver between 2001 and 2006, all bound for Canadian destinations.So far, research shows some appears to have landed on the Prairies, some in Toronto, he said.One possibility is that the Chinese drywall was made using gypsum that was first used in slurry containing carcinogens to de-sulphur coal.Chemicals remaining in the wallboard are sufficiently toxic that as few as three sheets of drywall may be enough to contaminate a home to the point it may require bulldozing, Martin says.More of the article at URL above.More info:http://www.injuryboard.com/national-news/lawsuits-fly-over-chinese-drywall.aspx?

As long as the cash flow is right you cannot loose.

Seems pretty good from my rough estimates.But how does one jump into a multi as a first rental without loosing their shirt.
