And, past performance is no guarantee of future results. 

I believe there can be great value in paid accountability as it really puts on pressure to perform and can provide you with someone to smack you out of paralysis.

This is purely anecdotal, but I've noticed that the top performing properties in my area lead with an exterior shot.

One that is pretty dang reliable for performance.

Focus on finding a replacement with strong tenant screening processes and performance guarantees.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

we do have to remember and I know its 10 years ago and many on this site are post GFC investor and know no better.. but were do you think all these deals came from... back in 2010 to 2014  it was not from well performing assets it was from stressed and failed owners. 

Those stilled cashflowed mostly due to insanely low interest rates.3) Investors started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates didn't allow cashflow at purchase.4) Investors are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

We teach an “investment product agnostic” strategy, focusing on educating investors on performing due diligence, establishing their own risk tolerance, and choosing their own investments.

Do you think if the 10 year drops 25% to get back to Sep/Oct rates that's without any other factors influencing it and no recourse post?
