I have been buying underperforming properties and I believe all the big names soon do the same just in a bigger scale. 

I believe the housing shortage is a farce - there is no housing shortage - there is an affordability issue and an inventory issue - but there is plenty of housing.

Quote from @Mary Peale: May I ask which amenities you added that you believe contributed to a revenue boost? 

In the last 2 months I was receiving a lot of deals in my email account and I received a "great deal" from a small wholesaler; 2 hours later the same property address showed up in an email from one of the "big wholesale companies" 10k dollars more expensive... the property was gone even before I could call the small wholesaler.I believe both are useful and all of us need to make a living, so I understand their role in this business.

I believe many believe they can assemble a team of realtor, contractor, property manager and lender and become profitable.

I believe they are also all class 5.

I believe that there were four fourclosures in a row.

Neither of which is happening with these out of state investors who believe section 8 is there path to early retirement. 

While I believe that breed-specific legislation is wrong, I also believe that, if you own a controversial breed, then you need to be an extra-responsible owner.  

You can probably just go ahead and live in that 5th unit, but I believe whenever you go to refinance it with a bank or what not, the 5th unit will make it require a commercial loan and not residential regardless of what the county records show the property to be.
