This is where the herd is culled, no point in talking to someone that hasn't survived a culling.

Tenants moving on their own volition also saves lots of money on relocation fees.The gross income last August was $6,100.We then started to fix up the units, made private decks, put in heat pumps in the upstairs units and radiant heating in downstairs units, re-did the landscape, put in covered and secure bike parking, fixed some plumbing issues, and took out a bunch of carpet.

I am all about taking some risk and getting ahead of the herd. 

I also want to replace the radiant electric heat with a mini split system.

They reserve the better terms for those who demand it and the herd just goes along with the bank demands.If your other properties are going to be at risk this better be a grand slam 16 unit with the numbers.  

Stick to what you're familiar with (or work with someone who's familiar with that niche) and avoid the herd mentality.

With this huge herd of beginners out there being talked into this stuff you know there is going to be heartache along the way.. they have even moved into selling their cars sub too.. what ta disaster that is..

I can tell you no matter what the economy does or who is in office there is a way to thrive.You have to adjust to the opportunities that are available in the marketplace and take advantage of them before hand before the herd mentality kicks in.For commercial what I specialize in investors are buying properties up in record numbers.It's not just the value of the asset but the cheap debt that is available.Sellers are still motivated to do deals but once the herd kicks in they will get more confidence to stand firm or closer to their price.

Some systems will even offer a reflective capability that will act as a radiant barrier.

I am considering radiant flooring in the bathrooms.
