In a soft market, these are not the high quality assets that I would expect to hold up well.

I must be soft, because they still made me feel bad about asking them to leave.  

I use the term hard and soft costs or fixed and variable cost.

There was some signs beginning to show the market getting a little soft.

Fico, Networth (know where you stand) Run a soft pull on your credit, gather your personal financial statement and schedule of real estate. 

If real estate avoids a crisis like 2009, it will at least be a soft market / buyer's market.  

If it is in an older duplex the home wasn't made to have the bass and sound that our electronics put out today, they home may not have been designed to have anything other than thick carpet and thick padding.

Your soft costs will be 18% of monthly rent.

On my end, I have softly marketed my single-family rentals. 

Obviously this leads to a large potential for abuse and so this is just a soft idea thus far.
