My company has gone through 3 dishwashers in the last 12 months and it has been an added expense.

But, these broad market studies are so large, they are almost meaningless, in the real world.Between glut of new supply in many "hot" markets coming online, a continually softening economic outlook, inflation over last couple years making day to day items feel cost prohibitive, many average renters are strapped and seeking lower cost housing.  

Perhaps the only homes that will last that long are the reinforced concrete structures that David mentioned.

I've closed more than 110 deals in the last 26 months (remotely).

He’s not a pushy salesman, and I’ve got a business partner who has worked with him for the last 10 years without any issues.As for your situation, I wouldn’t say it sounds like a Ponzi scheme, but I’d strongly recommend meeting with the fund sponsor in person and asking as many questions as you can.

I was last getting terms around 5-6% for the first 5 years, then floating with prime, 20 year term. 

It has to be "Win/Win" to make it work.I can honestly say that I have seen prices go up in the last two years. 

I believe it is completely reasonable to have a clause in your lease that places a cap on utilities with any overage (proven by a bill) being the responsibility of the resident.Our clause states that any electrical bill (we don't have gas, and water has never been a problem) that is over double the same month's bill from last year will have the overage assigned as a fee.It is important to keep your bookkeeping straight if you do assess a fee.

I've been in San Antonio since last Oct.
