And possibly charging triple damages (3 times the monthly rent). 

Now having said all that, I would double and triple check all your assumptions. 

I just received my tax notices for my holdings in Indianapolis and some of my tax payments have tripled.

Terri, Def commercial is the way to go... in some cases thet double or triple thier value in good markets every 10 years.

My general take here is that you should avoid base hits, and really focus on triples/home runs if you can.

Wages are increasing but not at same levels of Rents.  3) Wages could triple and go up but we would still be in a very similar situation.

I know there is a lot I can not control and what I can control I need to double and triple check.

I have no clue why everyone in this thread lately has been triple posting(it's not your fault by the way)but just a tip if you post in this thread and for some reason it's not going through just refresh and see if your post got sent if not than try again.Hopefully these bugs will be taken care of.

These folks usually get all excited about sbu2's and other "creative practices, many being shady at best and some out right illegal.I am usually fairly private but recently I have shed some light into my experience as well as finances over the last several years.My experience is that I made over a million in RE in the last 8 years and thats chump change by my demographics and standards.I ended up buying properties at 50-60% of FMV and these properties tripled in value over a 5 year period.

If you are talking about credit tenants with triple net leases then also they look at the credit rating of the tenant and how healthy they are.CTL's which stand for credit tenant loans are still lending at 85% to 90% LTV because lenders view these loans as very low risk with a low default rate.So for that these lenders will still do a loan with much less down.That is one of the advantages of having a great credit rated tenant for a property you are purchasing.Many of these existing loans are assumable as well to qualified buyers.New York and California are more SPECULATION on appreciation states and not based on cash flow for marquee properties.You can find much better caps for credit rated tenants in other states.In the urban core key places like Cali,New York,Boston,Washington the institutional buyers will outbid you for a lower cap rate.
