Occupancy trends, population trends, employment trends, competition, traffic patterns, economic development programs and priorities, zoning, and permit filings are some of the factors that may impact your plan and the future value of the property.

It's full of sample fact patterns and is a must read.So if you structure the deal with a repudiation of the original purchaser's obligation plus a novation by the end buyer but with some sort of disguised assignment fee included, the court could eventually look back at the transaction in its entirety and treat it not as one A-->C event but rather as an A-->B plus a B-->C.

Long term patterns do end.

One pattern I have noticed is that your tenants will always match your property. 

1) Regionally, are there more risk for the real estate market in the North East and West with rising rates, inflation and migration patterns? 

On the flip side of the coin, unemployment is basically zero as is housing inventory; so, that's not a fact pattern that would drive a crash in the short term. 

Not returning phone calls or emails is another prominent feature of this tenancy so I sort of got stuck in this pattern but the rent does get paid late.

The pattern is the same nationwide. 

Are there any patterns and do you have battery backups for your sump pumps.  

You get to see the area and neighborhoods they are located in, accessibility to local amenities, traffic patterns and volume, opportunity to meet new people, sharpens your research and communication skills.
