Some of the adjustments to projections we are making at Blue Lake to account for our unprecedented time:- We review returns assuming no rent increases for 12–24 months- We assume a higher bad debt (delinquencies) up to 4 times as much as current delinquencies- We assume 2–3x higher vacanciesThe bottom line is that investors need to be comfortable with balancing the weight of potential short-term risk with the weight of potential long-term rewards when examining a transaction.What Factors Should You Look for as a Passive Investor?

Bottom line is, I am very thankful to BP and all the people I’ve met along the way who have helped me on this journey and helped me to understand the power of intelligent real estate investing.Some other time I’ll post on another investment I made that was supposed to be more passive but ended up being very nerve-wracking, and I still don’t have my money back….

The market share will fall back as to its previous years.Most folks on the street don't know that banks or regulated lenders have regulatory examinations that are paid for by that lender, I didn't get my paycheck from tax revenues as an examiner.
