To my mind it feels a bit like a slot machine.If you do think the area is ripe for a huge boon, wouldn't it make sense to take that same money and buy a property that DOES cash flow but also shares in the potential upside?

Would love names4) If a settlement is discussed, what should I steel myself to expect to have to pay, roughly/as a range?

Robert Steele - I'd change the title of your thread a bit - get rid of the word "or" and replace it with "and" ...http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/62175-raise-rent-letterhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/77245-best-method-of-renewing-leaseshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/83593-raising-rent-on-long-time-trouble-free-tenanthttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/53149-do-you-notify-your-tenants-when-their-rental-contract-is-expiring-http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/77470-what-kind-of-incentives-do-you-have-to-retain-tenants

Every unit also has stainless steel with wood flooring.

I've got to agree with Robert Steele.

I had them come out for one property that had some minor foundation wall issues and they put up steel beams.

I'd have better luck trying to break a 2" thick piece of steel with a karate chop.

You'd fill up slots for Dallas and Orange County pretty quick, but further locals like Knoxville might take some time to get built out.It would absolutely be a resource for people coming into BP months and years down the road.

just buy bar keepers friend to bring stainless steel back to new. it's the best, and only around $1.50
