Try installing sodium (high intensity) lighting, install loudspeaker and play classical music (I know it sounds crazy, but it drives the younger ones away), or one of my favorites, a motion detector that turns on the sprinkler system.  

I absolutely love to read and I am on my 15th book since December pertaining to Real estate investing and business (along with an occasional classic novel, Lol).

My end goal is to be a successful real estate developer, developing many types of projects from repurposing older buildings to new infill high rise construction and subdivision development.Thanks for taking the time to read my intro, and feel free to contact me with any questions.Cheers!!

Honestly, it may sound overly simple, but the number one aspect to consider when buying NNN deals is the classic RE investment aphorism: location, location, location.

That is classic Josh!

The example of leverage is posted 18 times till Tuesday on here, so I won't cover it again, but shorthand not only do you create greater cash flow in the short term by using leverage, you also diversify your holdings (one vacancy is less damaging the greater your number of rentals, for example) and build long-term wealth by having tenants paying off your holdings.I believe there is a time to shift some/all capital into more of a holding pattern than a greater rate of return - near your "demise", for example, if you are planning on exiting the market, tired of working the job (this is a job, even if not in the classical sense), or if you have other plans for the capital, because successful buy & hold is going to (usually) depend on long-term strategy, kind of like blue-chip stocks.

A classical example is when you move money from a bank account in PA to a bank account to a community property state.

I f I buy a home here that goes for 25K I could take a mortage on it and have payments of about 200.00 a month but now I need to find a buyer that will pay back my 200.00 plus additional cash flow and I don't know if that can be done.Jeff,the business model your talking about is more the classic yield, where you borrow to buy, sell it for more and charge more interest.

It’s not the classic model of buying for lots of cashflow today, but that isn’t very practical in this area.

If we're talking classic rent control; where rent can't increase beyond a certain percentage for current residents, and can only be raised when the property is turned over; I don't see it happening.
