To be sure, I have only sent her 2 letters and made 1 phone call over a 6 week period. 

You see LPs exiting syndication is very uncommon because they typically invest with the understanding that their capital is committed for the entire duration of the investment period, which is mostly outlined in the offering documents at least all smart sponsors do that.

>have a single family rental in Merced, CA that I believe has a slow appreciation: bought for $170k in 2005 & its now worth about $400k.Because that period includes the Great Recession, that is a very good appreciation rate and better than San Diego had over the same period.3% loan is tough to beat as is a property tax that is ~50% of what it would be if you purchased today.

HMM never heard of that regarding criminals  https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/20...Using CA as an example:- not allowed to place a blanket ban based on criminal record- are not allowed to access certain forms of criminal records (arrests, post-trial diversions, sealed expunged records)- you are technically allowed to access conviction data and use it, but your interpretation of that data must comport perfectly with how CA wants you to interpret it (must have direct bearing, must have been recent enough etc)- even if you follow all of this perfectly, accessing the criminal records must not "have a discriminatory effect" so if certain special people are impacted you are still looking at liability.As a result of this legal minefield many just decide to forget looking at criminal or to find some other criteria.

We are seeing more vacancies, for longer periods of time, and for lower rents.Personally, I am very bullish on the Cape Coral market because the prices are lower than they have been in 3 -4 years.
