until we know the back ends of those deals we are left wondering what they were thinking when all along a 5 to 7% return to them means millions.. so in reality a hedge fund could drive rents down if they wanted to as well.. just to make sure they have the best tenants and their properties are full and they are still doing quite well. raise rents and really cash in.I agree to fully round out a portfolio investors should be thinking about upside movement of the value... the quote " appreciation is icing on the cake" while a nice sentiment is really I think a poor philosophy to follow... one needs to either force appreciation buy in an area were appreciation takes you for a nice ride,, or were rents can move up dramatically in a fairly short period of time those are the only ways in rentals one is going to make any kind of real money.Although what some would think is a reasonable return on investment and risk others would not be happy with...

I believe that utilizing both cash on hand to formulate deals & passive income to have perpetual funds creates a much needed balance for leveraging purposes.

Damages to the property, interior and exterior as a result of the foundation movement are not covered, during and after works completion.

So we do have some room for movement but I know that 15k could disappear fast.  

if you want quick money, flip is probably better (although there are good and bads - flip is a one time gain where as rentals are more of perpetual income or like an annuity). both requires time and lots of work to make it happen. 

Unless the wall is literally on the verge of collapse, you should be able to stabilize it with an engineered solution and a lifetime transferrable warranty against further movement.

It's not your typical spring, but still solid movement.

If you want to ramp up your forward movement start finding a way to talk to distressed sellers.

Enclosed porch foundation has 3 stair-step cracks because of no gutters, ground movement. 

Thats true the more i read through the comments the more I realize its too early in the movement to be so suck on the cash flow.
