But my observation is that on the other hand the investors who understand how to get a lot of debt (and the assets that debt allows them to control) within safe constructs are 9/10 times happier and closer to a place of true investing.

Took the words right out of my mouth!

You're out all of that time and money.I'd have been a lot happier if there was an additional clause stating something like "all rights under this provision are extinguished if and when the owner accepts an offer to purchase from any party other than the tenant."

If you’re an adult and you believe having the biggest pile of cash makes you happier than the man with a slightly smaller pile of cash, hold this L.

Quite literally, the words from Powell’s mouth were “We’re not even thinking about thinking about thinking about raising interest rates[…] we think that the economy will need [very low interest rates] for an extended period”.

It's a mouth full, but hey, the law is the law.We keep a operating account and a reserves / savings for the next investment account.

An off market deal I did purchase in Menands was through word of mouth from the current tenant.

There are 2 great quotes from athletes that I regularly tell myself when I am on the fence; “you will miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” - Wayne Gretzky and “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” - Mike Tyson Apply where necessary.

Apartment-rental sites don’t show any listings at 1480 for the past several years, but a call to the management company revealed that the most recent arriving tenant signed a lease in June, and a representative explained that people tend to find apartments there by word of mouth.

So we close, and go on our ways, but I’m left with a bad taste in my mouth toward the seller that I work to get past.
