Culture of the group - is it established & maintained?

You don't want to be miserable with where you're choosing to grow your portfolio, and many of these places have very different climates and very different vibes (ie things to do, culture, etc). 

Hello, I'm brand new to real estate investing but have always had a desire to be apart of this magnificent culture.

@Rick Roach it’s the norm not to move out until marriage in my culture; they’d be weirded out charging their son rent.

Thanks for everyone's input....I think this might be culture thing but I still like to "save face".

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: @Edwin De leon I own 50+ units in NY and manage over 500.Evictions are a pain and the state has gone overboard with some of the tenant laws.With that being said our average cash on cash returns are 8% in B class areas and our delinquency hovers around 7-10% of our total portfolio.The 10% delinquency is geographic by micro markets.

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: @James Hamling now that is an interesting question.What do you tip?

@Adrian Chu  We have to be very aware of the cultural climate we live in - know the rules, abide by them, and proactively lobby for -and make the case for common sense laws and against restrictive rules that ultimately make it more difficult and expensive for the very ones who need the most help. 

Unless you belong to a culture that practices arranged marriages, it takes as many dates as required.Your campaign should attempt to create a relationship of sorts with the recipient.

Who knows why maybe it's a cultural thing or she has other stresses going on and she is scapegoating a little.
