As long as I provide clean, safe, habitable housing, I don’t have to worry about slum lords, because their tenants wind up being my tenants and if similar competition becomes an issue, than it’s up to me to either adjust my rents or provide better amenities, but as long as I have that control, I don’t have to worry about outside forces affecting my operations, which brings up another great quote by Sir Isaac Newton after he lost money in the South Sea Bubble, “I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.”The other reasons real estate is a superior investment is because I can get a loan from my banker to help me purchase real estate.

I love the mentality that if you shoot for the stars and come up short, you have still accomplished quite a feat.

I have never watched Star Wars so I didn't even know who Yoda was. 

Our units are 1,100 sq ft, all hard surface flooring, solid surface counters, S/S energy star rated appliances, in unit W/D, screened lanai, high ceilings, loads of storage all with an contemporary open floor plan.Had been researching this for  over a year.

We only want to eat at restaurants with 5 stars on yelp.

Now, if you have money, about $500,000.00, then you can hire experience and star a servicing company. 

It isn't very likely 4 and 5 star community owners are going to welcome Lonnie Dealers, but others might roll out the red carpet if they feel it is beneficial to them.As Curt Smith penned, your biggest mistake was not learning what you don't know before committing investment monies.

Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world

I have had some success with Jay Maultby at Tri Star.

As a RE seller and I sell a lot of property each year that we own well over 70 properties and almost all the pre approval letters come in right at the max they can borrow IE they get approved for 400k they don't shop for a 250k house they go right to the max.For the Rich and famous I have bought those as well  ( well at least sports stars) and I will mention one by name since he is deceased..
