Not only are they the most conistent as far clientele you're working with these areas will have the most demand from renters and owner occupants so units will fill up quickly, more times than not with higher quality clientele. 

So if lowering the rent 8% would have filled it you would have been ahead.

in our area that is a real big deal.. we did another demo and left a few pieces of flooring an inspector came on our job determined they had asbestos in them and we violated taking asbestos items to the regular land fill.. that cost me 19k in fines and 18k in lawyer fees to keep the fines from being really big..

Generally it's a mix between (a) spec builders, the type who specialize in doing in-fill lot's (b) investors, as it is a normalized flip strategy (c) owner occupants, especially in high desire neighborhoods, who are a-ok with taking on the project and even some are excited that they get to build a new home in often old neighborhoods. 

If the higher end rent prices on comparable units take an extra month to fill the vacancy and also the tenant stays 1-2 years instead of 3-4 years on average those landlord make LESS income charging that rental price ESPECIALLY if they pay a PM a placement fee upon turnover on top.

Listening to Jerryll's video filled in more blanks for me in terms of marketing.

Paid the realtor to complete the tenant screening and both units were eventually filled. 

Some properties there's just a Brita water pitcher the cleaners fill, others it could be bottled water cold in the fridge, and others would provide nothing because in all reality guests bring the drinks they want.

Their fill hose sprung a leak or something and hundreds of gallons of water poured into the apartment below them.

 I have 10 properties in the Portsmouth Virginia area and as of right now I am trying to sell those properties and they’re worthless as far as recouping any of the money that I put into the purchase  I have claims at the moment with the FTC in the SEC also have a claim with sender I filled out an affidavit and waiting for them to return with the information  I have to say Preston and his crew really did a bad job on me for I invested my retirement money in these places and I have no chance of recouping any percentage of my investment  I would like to sue these people if it’s all possible I just don’t know how to get started and go about finding a lawyer that would handle the shoot process If anyone out there has any idea as to how I can go about doing this please let me know through this through a post if you would please
