A commercial property leased to Wal-Mart, that has insurance, loss of rents is insured and where the rents are considerable, such short term rents might be factored for a few months or say for a year, but this is unusual today, primarily because making a commercial loan is more profitable.

It is not unusual for IRS agents to find additional people to audit because they uncover cash payments.

Neither address shows up on his credit report, although I realize that's no so unusual.

Another option to hedge against moves in the Treasury curve (which would effect LIBOR, which would effect bank rates) are the two ETFs: FLAT and STPP.FLAT bets on the yield curve flattening (it is unusually steep at the moment)andSTPP bets on the yield curve getting steeper (slightly possible in the short term, but not such a good long term bet).These are fairly new products.

Add baths, kitchens, heating/cooling, etc, and it is no surprise that owners feel blind-sided by bad years and unusual expenses, I don't see them, therefore they aren't real.

The lease will have all sorts of unusual requirements, and it will be easy for you to break one of these and make you subject to eviction.

If you called on the weekend it would not be unusual not to get a call back until Monday or Tuesday.

Ken,Unless contracts are unusual in that area, apartment leases are typically only one year long.

Is this typical for the area or in some way unusual.

Great post Jason, it is unusual to find such comprehension and understanding comming from a poster with just a few posts.
