It juices your margins and gives you the opportunity to actually learn about the nuances of your property and the real estate business as a whole.

We could see that In MF also since most buy those units and max leverage to juice paper returns it does not take a staggering vacancy rate to spell trouble for some of those properties. 

If we go into a tailspin it doesn't bide well for other countries and might hit a global recession.Most investment cycles go about 10 years but tax policies juiced out further a prolonged expansion.

@Lee Bell, I just always want one more...lol

Once you can no longer control your own destiny is the juice worth the squeeze?

Sounds like none of you invest in class C multis, where the most juice is.

You got to be willing to deal, and you've got to "deal belly to belly" with these people, as @Steve Vaughan has always said.

Personally my take and advice is that if you have to jump through multiple hopes while rubbing the belly and patting the head, that's a sign that your probably OVER-leveraging and not in a safe position to be buying/acquiring properties at the moment.  

I have some friends raking that in, hoping the company they work for doesn't go belly up, hoping telecommunication advances won't source their job to IT teams working in India for a fraction of what they cost to employ here.

It isn't the entirely the fault of the investor to take advantage of this option to juice returns.
