I've been trying for years to get a local abandoned boarding house with a view to rezone it and convert it to a fourplex, but with yesterdays consular update it's time to throw in the towel for that in favour of this new adventure.The BP RE Podcast was pretty much the only thing keeping me occupied and motivated as a miner dreaming of real estate for the better part of a decade, and for essentially solely my gratitude i'd like to finally post a public thanks to Josh (wherever he is), David, and Brandon for keeping my machinery blaring with the original and spinoff podcasts free of charge all these years.Not terribly sure how long these posts are supposed to be but i'm grinning to be making it.

My partner (the bad cop :grin:) is insisting that we get FMR but I have convinced him to be gentle in this matter, so here's our plan to get the FMR for our apartments.Every other month, we will be raising the rents 10% until we get to the FMR rate.We will begin this policy in 30 days of this letter.Serve the normal 30-day notice of change in terms and attach a personal letter like the above. 

Grin;  That's another beni of MFUs; one set of bills per address. 

And you can't be grinning ear to ear at the closing table of walking out either, I just get the checks and glance at it to make sure it's correct, fold it over and put it my shirt pocket like it's a tickets to a ball game!

As a side note this is so common in Texas I left that market .. virtually every flip that we did with an FHA loan did not appraise and of course the Buyers were either unwilling or more to the point did not have the money to come up in price.. so as a seller you either grin and bear it or you cancel.. 

Just prior to signing, for kicks and grins, I added up all the rent I would pay for the 12 years of the lease. 

*grins  We have so many out of town / out of state investors here, perhaps one of them has a good solution?

I GRINNED to get deals done. 

I know @Collin H. owned several During the GR in the smokies.

The plumber grins, puts his hand on the doctors shoulder, and calmly says:"When I was a dentist I used to say the same thing"😀
