For many tenants if they were getting the money (and heaven help them if they did; the landlord would likely never see this but Walmart stock would again increase) it would be an incentive for them to actually DO something.As it is some of these tenants have been sailing along nicely not paying rent (or not paying full rent) and still managing to remain in the rental so why should they put forth this effort?

I see many investors buying up cheap properties in D neighborhoods expecting to be smooth sailing.

Also, CT has mountains for hiking, skiing, and beaches for sailing and swimming making it a great place to call home. 

There are many details that play a part, but in an attempt to oversimplify - I don’t know how to get started before this ship sails.

In my market, flipping is not longer an opportunity; that ship sailed long ago. 

With plans of setting sail to circumnavigate the world in 2022, I thought to add this here since I will be using it as a primary residence and none of it would be possible without real estate!

With the help of a trust worthy contractor and agent this project was overall smooth sailing.

That ship has gone and sailed as of 2019.
