I can figure out exactly where liberals will begin, build and end an argument because they have done the same thing since the turn of the 20th century.

haha @Jeremy Hauben you know us Yankees, we settle down and stay in one place for centuries!

I need to take a leap into this century, I reckon.

there's plenty of information online that's available to the public. its all a matter of researching. for instance, not long ago I was looking up some relatives of mine. yes, I know they are my relatives but all I did was search online for their names and got death certificates going back a century plus. my point is that like marriage licenses, property owners and criminal background, death certificates are apart of public record also. 

However, this does not take into account price appreciation which historically on commercial property has averaged 5 - 6 % over the last half century.

Or buy 1 property a year/decade/century.

Hey BP,Searching for multi-family properties hasn't been as easy as I would have expected given that we're in the 21st century...or am I missing something?

I will say our 2 STRs have mostly been operated as STR since the last century and are in an area where most of the units are STR. 

One more thought, a lot of the construction there is from the first half of the 20th century, budget for fairly high cap ex & repairs/maintenance when running your numbers.
