The assessment should be a fair value made in good faith, not added to just to beat up the seller for grins.

Now, I can just grin and say “Yep, I’m a Slumlord.”  

Cripes, I can't even say 'Apple of Woodbridge' without grinning because I still remember how it used to be.

Coming in = big grin.

(*grins)4) Don't be afraid to try something scary....like letting prospective tenants tour a property without you being present using a key in a lock box. 

:grin:

For example lets for grins say I could purchase a $100K place for $1K out of pocket. 

I'm sure some of you have been in this position before... I bought a 10-unit building a year ago. I bought it for the cash flow, not appreciation, and I knew getting into it there was certain work I'd need to do, but...

If the property works at 10% or 15% vacancy and real life only sends you 5% (w/o much turnover or bad debt), you'll just walk around with a stupid grin on your face.

This provides the opportunity for you to start gripping and grinning, smile and shake, whatever works for you just start connecting with other like-minded individuals in your specific sector.Fletcher Clardy III, Consultant w/Clarity Equity Group
