Hi Marvin,I think it is the perfect time to buy in areas impacted by the L trains shutting down. 

They called me from the inside a fast-food restaurant that was nice and cool.

I am born and raised in AZ, so I know the bars, restaurants, and things to do in these areas.

My partners and I acquired some great real estate in a small downtown and plan to develop a nice mixed-use project to include retail/restaurants on the first floor with condominiums above that on the second and third floors.

Hi BP Community,We are selling our property in the country side of Portugal (Constância, 1 hour away from Lisbon), and would love to ask you guys if you know anyone or any investment fund that is looking at acquiring these types of properties overseas.It is a rural tourism property with great history, currently used as a 10 bed boutique hotel.Below some additional details:Location: Quinta de Santa Bárbara 2250-092 Constância, PORTUGALSize: 38,410 m2 (413,441 sq ft) of land, and 3,200 m2 (34,444 sq ft) built areaCondition: working hotel with 8.9 rating in Booking.comNumber of bedrooms: 10 (project to increase capacity to 21 rooms)Restaurant, bar, swimming pool, tennis court, small gym, space for events with 200 people capacityPrice: €1,950,000 ($2,261,970 at today's exchange rate)It is surrounded by famous historical landmarks (such as "Fátima", or "Convento de Cristo"), and it has an historical background. 

The rules of an MLS usually say that when a buyer has been identified and the property is no longer available, the status needs to be changed, which is probably what's going on in your case - the property might still be available, and the buyer may or may not close, so they don't want to shut everything down, but also don't want other agents to spend time on a deal that might not be available.

All I have to do is to email the access code to my guests and answer their questions about local restaurants, if they ask.

I know that when the Fed raises rates, many people are shut out of purchasing a house because it causes their ratios to no longer support the financing, it also scares home buyers who were affected when their parents lost their homes to foreclosure in the great recession.But, I never tell people this because 1) They can't handle the truth (actually they just won't take the time to learn it) 2) It gives me a tremendous investment edge.

you def have increased liability and have to rely on tenants to keep gates shut etc.

At least you have a shut off T-tool.
