Thank you to whoever answers this most complexed question asked so far in this forum regarding Tardus. 

I traded all my RE in for apartment complexes in Ohio and we have won every eviction over there due to the judges being tired of these mental midgets lying regarding Covid and not following the CDC standards on their end.  

There are a few markets in the US where you are forced to look outside like LA, SF, NYC, Boston etc, but even for Chicago investors it does not make sense to invest in Milwaukee due to the added cost and complexity

I remember back when I was ramping up my own rental portfolio in those early-2000s San Diego days, I learned the hard way that ignoring “little” costs..like that termite treatment or the property manager’s onboarding fee..can turn what looked like a sweet deal into something that barely breaks even.Let’s say you pick up a property in one of those under-the-radar neighborhoods in Omaha or maybe on the south side of Chicago..markets I’ve seen a few colleagues dabbling in lately..you’ve got to be ready to get real about the numbers.

A single investor purchased a building in an upscale condo complex and leased all units to Section 8 tenants.
