How do we connect these areas by rail and enable people to find more affordable housing and be able to get to work in a timely fashion?"

It sounds like she was used to working in a very specific fashion and didn't enjoy changing that up.

Don't be so naïve to think everyone there is there to help you, they are all wanting to get into your pocket in some fashion, that's the way RE operates, it does take others to get started and even later on in doing deals, but just understand that these meetings are to advance business, they aren't a school room or class.

Even if fashions change in 3 years this style will retain it's universal appeal.Also there have been many recent chemistry advances and some inexpensive companies offer a fantastic and durable white paint. 

There was an awesome article in the Charlotte Observer (see the link below) about the current building boom in Charlotte and how it compares to the last massive building period in the early 1970's - including a discussion of some of the complexes that were built then and how they look today.http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/articl...Takeaways:- Trendy apartments go out of fashion, and will offer frequent opportunities for renovation.- Despite falling from a class A  to class C level of community, the rent growth over the past 45 years in these complexes was 3% per year on average.- Today's B and C class apartment complexes generally started as class A apartments decades ago - that's where the best returns are for developers.- Unit mix is important - having most or all 1 bedroom units limits the customer base and increases turnover.- Real estate is forgiving - as long as you keep vacancy down and don't let deferred maintenance pile up, the properties will do OK. 

I've always thought it 'bad' to negotiate deals via text message, I personally would rather talk the old fashioned way over the phone or better yet face to face.

The best thing is old fashion wood and spring rat traps.

So if I wanted to do MF at the VERY least I would get my brokers license and work for a commercial broker that will get you in range of those that have the dough to buy these deals. social media is not going to cut it in any fashion in my mind.. not for sophisticated investments.. there are some private facebook stuff were guys that are accredited chat but you have to get invited and vetted normally I am in a few of those for lending platforms.. which are mainly ***** sessions about crowdfunding platforms and deals that are not working LOL. 

@Pedro PadiernaI can't see photos, but if it is not renting, the price is too high for the experience of the potential renter or the process is too difficult.The truck you describe is always going to be there in some fashion.

I like to buy used bright white appliances that work and look good, usually when someone else is upgrading their kitchen for fashion.
