You've given me some food for thought.

No problem Cecil glad I and others could help.You will find what I call a lot of FAD type food places.

They are searching "food truck rodeo, Raleigh".

Here are a few ideas: Have food drives at apartment complexes, volunteer opportunities for residents, beautify the area, sponsor kids at a local school and give them financial education resources...

Sellers like to show the best food forward and hide the worst parts of the complex.Was there any waiving of security deposits,first months rent free, or half off as a special to get tenants in?

Basically you have housing, transportation, internet, phone, food and clothes.  

Here is some for food for thought. 

But that's true if you hold for 40-60 years you'll probably get some solid returns.If you're really looking at the "2% rule" please read this, it's a few years old but good food for thought: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/14/the-2-percent-rule/

Didn't help.When we went in to do the eviction EVERYTHING was present in the house (including food in the fridge although the power had been shut off for nonpayment the week before); not a pleasant experience in the middle of summer in Georgia. 

(This is called food debt) It's a beautiful thing!!
