What do you think about the following AP story from The Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon, USA?

After 4 days there was finally the National Guard out to cool off the riots. 

The year is now 2023: call in the national guard! 

But, with the outrage started by right-wing commentators, it didn't make sense to hype up the issue while a Republican was in office; instead they waited for the guard to change.But, again, nothing about the TSA or their tactics have changed in the past 8 years (you seem to think that SNL has their pulse on the issues...if so, note that they did 3 TSA skits since 2002, not just the one from last week).I'll give them credit -- the right-wing commentators are very good about getting people to be outraged by things that they wouldn't normally be outraged about (they certainly play the game better than the left-wing).Take NY city mosque, for example.

I used to think rising rates and rising oil prices but now since they are in mainstream media, I am now betting on the Black Swan :)  - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/blackswan.asp  I don't think oil is quite in the mainstream (Cramer was caught off guard in the recent rally, but that appears to be his m-o).

In some smaller towns you get the old guard that is old school and some of the things they do are overkill.If the area is suburban to urban core I tend to look for lenders that are more easy going but still give good rates and more competitive.  

Then the father AND someone I trust would have to physically stay there and guard the house from this deadbeat while I went to closing.If that's not possible, I'd ask the closing agent to withhold funds after closing until I physically went over there to verify it was vacated. 

I thought the .25% seemed too good to be true and now the 1% broker fee is added in of course and it is catching me off guard.

All of these tips are superb and a reminder how "comfortable" I have become showing homes to strangers that my guard has gone down a lot in the past few years.

Not aware of a PMC that will consistently guard a property like Christian does, which is Paul's point.You can invest in Detroit, just have to select better areas and be careful on applicant screening.Regarding the suburbs, look for our Ring Cities blog post here on BP and also fFollow our "Deep Dive" series we're doing about Metro Detroit cities and City of Detroit Neighborhoods: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
