Since COVID, the demand for cash actually increased, so this is a recession resistant play.

It’s not water resistant, and it’ll just cause a headache of problems.Instead, go with either sheet vinyl glued down or LVT because of the waterproofing capabilities.

3) It's been 5+ years since we've seen a S8 tenant lose their voucher for property damages, not paying their portion of the rent or utilities, or other lease violations (letting others move in with them).It's our opinion that #2 & #3 above are caused by overworked caseworkers not having the time to process the extra required paperwork, so they take the path of least resistance.4) S8 needs someone at the federal level to put more of the program online and streamline the process!

Non-payment of rent is always the path of least resistance to get someone out in a somewhat timely manner.

If not, then the path of least resistance is to simply adjust your vision so it fits better into the lot, as-is. :) A zoning change can take up to 6 months, approval isn't guaranteed (despite Aldermanic support), and potentially cost a lot of money (architectural site / floor plans & dimensioned elevations, zoning attorney, holding costs, etc.) 

So developers are building multifamily on these parking areas.Since these areas aren't located on top of residential areas, the zoning approval process has a lot less friction and resistance from NIMBYs.Here's an example in Rochester where an old Sears was turned into apartments for seniors.https://www.passero.com/projects/skyview-park-senior-housing...For multifamily developers, this could be an opportunity for building and partner with the mall owners.

Resist, go to jail.Some guys are using this as a preventive measure. 

While some lender will allow statements from other countries and will convert to USD, the path of least resistance here is to have your funds already in the US and create a US based entity to vest on title. 

The Left must resist the urge to “help” with short-sighted, counter-productive policies like rent control.

I think the dogmatic view may be the source of resistance--that because it happened in Sep/Oct, therefore it'll happen again.
