Agree on some scheme up front and in writing.

Wow, a sec deposit ponzi scheme.

For an extra 10k its meaningless in the grand-scheme.

I'm not asking for quick fixes or any get rich quick schemes because I know that investing takes a lot of patience time and effort...And also money.

For land, use assessed value and APN scheme to create an equation to price each property individually.

When you're starting off it's easy to want to rely on formulas or 'paint by numbers' schemes, but you may have one house that fits the 2% formula and has $ 100 cashflow and another fits 1% and has $ 200 cash flow. 

The way I see it, they're paying me thousands of dollars a year in rent, and a couple of hundred bucks in concessions is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, and a fraction of what 1 month of vacancy would be.

They get rich, screw up the courts, rub elbows with other big players, scheme even more and write more laws which gets them richer.In this case, these bad actors who are using other Landlord's apts to get rich are creating HUGE problems for themselves and the LANDLORD.We can get caught up and have to spend money on attorneys to defend ourselves because we will be named in the Law Suit by NYC as if we were accomplishes.

This is what becomes aggravating at times in the forums, that people think they need to follow some guru tactic, scheme or method to do some deal.

I'm not looking for a get rich quick scheme, I already do very well with my own companies and know the meaning of hard work and risk.
