@Kevin Lefeuvre it wouldn't shock me at all if VRBOHomeAway was in the process of changing their process to eliminate the ability to contact the guest outside of their ecosystem. 

Sure, I miss Genesee Beer, the Distillery, Sticky Lips, Amerks games and all the people walking in Brighton on the Sabbath, but juice is worth the squeeze regarding moving from Roch to Raleigh.A few pros:  (1)  Lower State Income taxes, (2)  Healthier and more diverse job opportunities (higher pay and opportunities for advancement as a whole), (3)  BBQ - I won't step foot in my favorite BBQ joint the Dinosaur in Rochester since that Commie George Soros purchased a stake. 

Often with the lower end tenants it's a much cleaner and healthier relationship both ways when they're dealing with a property manager.

Investors AND Agents/Realtors are digging hard enough for it.Let me explain...How can an Agent or an Investor decipher what's realistic when every market, every zip code, every city block is it's own eco system of real estate activity.

I've been saying that for about a year now and my father isn't getting any younger/healthier.  

I mean, half the ecosystem here has no clue that commercial debt is different than the loan they use for their own home!

It's as though the analytical ecosystem chooses to apply "leverage gains" to 2009 but completely avoid ever talking about "leverage losses" from properties bought from 2003-2008.  

This has been a growing trend that nets healthier returns for PM's like myself and a higher quality "tenant" for landlords.

Prices for Starbucks regular coffee and their sandwiches isn't much different from fast food type places really , at least here and the quality is significantly better and healthier ..Not sure in Canada .

That said, I know a lot of people here do it the opposite way but where I invest is a pretty small ecosystem.
