Good to know I am not the only one sharing this sentiment!

@Rick Decker I appreciate the sentiments, and don't disagree with most of them. 

As you know in Texas there is anti-billboard sentiments since the days of Lady Bird.

Because there could be factors such as appreciation, sentimental value, strategic forecasting that make that property desirable to hold even if it's underperforming as a rental.  3.

I decided to buy it from her just to help her out an the home has sentimental value to me.

I can't make it usually past the first 3 to 6 pages and I just put it down and never come back to it.Myself I much prefer the live classroom approach and or as in my case working with really good and successful people as an apprentice coming up in the industry.. and getting paid to do if before I spent my hard earned cash on some cheapy investment property that I may or may not lose my butt on.Realize not every one wants to be a landlord I understand the sentiment of hey just go buy a cheap house and learn to be a landlord.. but that in my mind is low level stuff that really never gives you the education to really get going to higher levels.

Of course the hope is they appreciate someone taking the time to help them (Since I think the "There aren't enough hours in the day" sentiment is the most prevalent) so they will bring things to me first.

@Phil Earley I understand the sentiment, however, she knew that this location would rent extremely quickly, has left the place in better condition that she rented it in, and the PM refused to answer phone calls or e-mails that she sent prior to purchasing the home, in which she attempted to open a dialogue about this.

Market sentiment, Economic performance. or which way the wind is blowing on any given day will determine what a property is worth and what people are willing and able to pay in rent before they decide to revolt against the whole thing, heheheheheh.

I agree with the overall sentiment of the cover, although turning around Detroit is like turning the proverbial battleship.
