Out this way that seems to be the issue.. vacancy is close to 0  but collections now that's another matter. in my years of doing business in the mid west rents have been pretty static and in areas of heavy section 8 that sets the bar and free market is usually less than section 8,Either way its good to get data from actual owners  thank you.

Brush it off.

It was an open-ended question that cannot be answered with a "yes" or "no" response, or with a static response.

But like many people, I brushed off these risks, seduced by the attractive rate of return, and the assumption that if needed, it would be easy to sell and walk away within a reasonable time period.

Not that any fraud is "good" and I'm painting with a broad brush here, but something about taking advantage of people who want to do a little bit better for themselves is somehow worse than preying on people's greed and vanity.

i tried to just change the subject from me, my company and plans to just basic business entity questions...they weren't interested in talking about that stuff, brushing me off and saying..."

Next I need the brush removed, which is taller than I am.

Will the rents go up over time, or is this area pretty static?

Every investor should read it and have a copy handy to brush up on if needed.

Understanding CapEx to its fullest and not brushing it off.
