Make sure there are demand drivers. 

I know a paraplegic who, after literally loosing her entire life to a drunk driver, looked at what she could still do an reinvented herself building her mind and forging an intellectual career.

It's okay to be mad at yourself.

Chris I have list of 25 GP to avoid.But if I post this I would have 30 people mad at me and maybe the BP CEO too.Why I shall take the risk ? 

but you also want to create an incentive for people to stay.From a tenant's perspective, there is also a monetary cost to moving, not to mention the effort it takes all the way down to the little annoying things like  changing the zip codes on your credit cards or address on your drivers license.The real money is made in the equity column. 

Choosing to become a local real estate developer means you're not just watching change happen – you're right there in the driver's seat, actively shaping your community's destiny and driving its growth.

Prices look attractive, but lots of investors there.Decatur is probably a place to look, Krum, Gainesville, Sherman Denison, Midlothian, Weatherford, places that aren't off the radar, but still have good growth prospects and maybe a few demand drivers.

Nope says the driver with a lock and chain in is hand.

Unless you ran a full credit, criminal, and eviction check using the tenants SSN and drivers license (which you must have their permission to do) you can't be sure that the records you are viewing are in fact one and the same person who was your tenant.

Not saying we did it alone, but I'm proud that Carrot has been a key driver over the last 8 years of helping to elevate the conversation in this market and to raise the bar for running an ethical, honest, and highly impactful business that is here for the long-term.
