This mall also had a full-size ice rink and a three-story aquarium to rival aquariums at places like Sea world in the United States.

Would your rehab costs rival your new build costs?

Hi Tyler,I self manage ~ 27 doors here  NJ and while YES, I collect monthly reoccurring passive income which I have built up to rival my W-2 income it is not truly passive but by no means is it a full time job (or anywhere close) either..

AND even if they have this well thought out plan, the cost of fabrication and construction will rival a traditional new build. 

I have also seen houses get shot up by rival drug dealers.

Tiny houses can often rival the price of a site built home of larger size, depending on the build quality. 

These people being compared to those who get behind and default are apples and oranges.The oragnges are probably fed up with the system, they tried and the bankers caused the problem, if they lost their job in a window factory due to the housing bubble, then they got behind I can understand them being bitter.

Originally posted by @Richard Dunlop: Your post does ring with bitterness, but on one note we agree; I would never touch a 2% deal.   

You can find numbers that rival the rust belt and you still have the opportunity for appreciation.

Yeah I'm bitter.  1% dividend payout?.....
