@Jay Hinrichs , @Brian KloftThe guys that like cash/respect leverage, know that life does not exist on a spreadsheet, and that pay off properties are hiding in plain sight...just like real life where the unassuming rich folks drive old cars and buy clothes at Costco.

But, I agree that there is not enough chasing away or direct questioning of people who post questionable stuff, and I think it is easier to be just plain old mean from behind the safety of anonymity. 

Really makes me a bit sick.     

When I listed concerns of flagrant lease violations, gone unchecked (derelict vehicles, unregistered large breed dogs who are not picked up after, garbage scattered out in the yard, piles of debris; old tires, tv, kitchen sink, broken wheel barrow, all sitting out in plain sight for a month or more), wash machine drain hose running out a window and draining into the lawn.

Let the numbers talk, plain and simple.

No aspirations to continue to build and move in syndications, just plain old buy n holds in class B neighborhoods.

To me, what I wrote is mostly plain old common sense.Andrew, sadly, we all too often tend to leave our common sense at the door in the face of a well-crafted piece of misleading marketing (I was there too when I began).

I'm teasing but in seriousness I have found using a plain doorknob with NO LOCK paired with a basic programmable deadbolt to work well.

I look at props I sold ,5 ,6 8 years ago and get sick, there now triple or MUCH more then I sold them for.
