You don't need any more quantitative data than that combined with the hand picked current director being ideologically bent towards this bill to know it's a partisan entity.This is no more deficit neutral than a tech company announcing another round of successful VC funding is evidence of profit.

Intel built 3 new fab plants and brought in 6,000 new employees.. and other growth with other companies.. next year we had 2500 permits and it has steadily gone up but we are still about 25,000 doors short to meet demand of external and internal growth for this area..

I have spent time studying SEO (Keyword Density, H1/H2/H3 tags, title tags, meta desciption, 300 min words on each page, internal & external links, silo structure, simple permalinks, alt tags, etc). and implemented on my site.

So I purchased a deal off market on a 20-unit multi-family property.Rents were $500-$600/unit whereas I rent them out Mid-Term for around $2,000/unit (market long term $900)I only had the funds to close + turn/furnish 5 out of the 20 units (plus do lots of external repairs).

Eventually in a city like Denver, the market should reach equilibrium, unless external factors (such as government), restrict new development.  

Stephen:Before we walk a property, we research the neighbourhood (going rent rates, vacancy rate, vandalism/crime rate, etc); and run the vendor supplied numbers (rent roll, operating costs) - adding in allowances for maintenance, management, and reserves for CAPEx, while modifying any excessively rosy numbers with estimates/extrapolations based on our experience.We eliminate 9 out of 10 properties before even booking a walkthrough.When you do walk the property, make note of the following: - condition of the envelope (walls/insulation, windows/doors, roof & external cladding);- electrical: breaker panels; grounded circuits (bring a tester); GFCI circuits in bath & kitchen, etc.;- plumbing: ABS vs cast iron or galvanized waste lines; galvanised vs copper or pex supply lines- HVAC: type of heating/cooling system(s); centralized vs separate; age of systems; etc.- finishes and flooring: cabinets, vanities, fixtures, floors, etc.

Tankless hot water and external mini-split HVAC to preserve all the basement space possible.

In a contracting business, success or failure is generally defined by the particular skillset and communication of the individual rather than external factors so I don't know that the franchise model will be a major advantage here.  

I expect them to stay long term, so ... we will do incremental items, but not full rehabs (they got re-piped water supply and new windows which are significant upgrades + the external appearance and laundry room upgrades). 

As external factors plays a role in REI you should not overlook small things which may ruin your investment goals.
