He could tell by popping off the doors they the insulation was falling off (sparks flied at one point) and the evaporator condenser was heavily corrosive which can leak harmful R22 refrigerant into the home plus found bio growth inside leading to potential health concerns.

Hello Everyone,I have been looking for my next project and I have seen a couple of warehouses that I have sparked the idea of converting the space into apartments.Did you or someone you know do this before?

I can't remember what sparked my interest in real estate investment, but browsing bigger pockets and learning all I can has definitely become my new favorite pastime.

wood burning will have sparks.

I can see how using open ended questions could potentially spark more conversation which will only help.

But not all do.To be frank, the big problem is that you're trying to oversimplify a complex issue: Lets pretend there is no any deductions, depreciation, nor anything else that complicates matters...That's like asking how a car works, and then saying let's ignore the tires...the spark plugs...the gas... anything that complicates things.Well, those things matter... a lot...

Thanks for bringing up the subject and sparking conversation! 

This widens the wealth gap which creates financial conflicts, potential social unrest, increase in taxes and a push towards socialism (politically speaking) - There is some threat from the perceived rising power of China against US leadership but China has so many inherent and social problems because of status, class and financial disparities that they have to handle their internal potential implosions before challenging anyone (they are no real threat and if anything they are financially strong and can contribute massively to the US and other economies)- Virus has caused lots of job losses and lower revenues to most companies What you can do:- Get into funds and larger real estate investments where the money is pooled together for better purchase power with experienced fund managers- Choosing Fund Managers with experience mean thaey have been through past down cycles like in 2008 to 2012 otherwise you are taking a bigger risk (I think quite a few people mentioned this in this thread) - Choose safety and reliable cash flow over crazy syndications that offer unrealistic returns based on speculative proforma -Understand the difference between a syndication and a real estate fund (a syndication is just one property but a fund is diversified by having several properties, in different locations, with different style of investing and a cross collateral - Syndications may offer higher returns due to risk) - Stay out of the stock market because losing 25% of your money will require an increase of 33.3% just to breakeven again.

Let me know if this sparks any other questions or if I can help in any way!
