Agreed the biggest issue will be labor especially on the west coast and say Texas were Hispanic labor makes up HUGE portions of the manual labor force and Agricultural.. your not going to get born and breed US citizens to work in the fields picking fruit ..

By BS I mean he is leading you on to believe these deals are low hanging fruit and can be found with very little money or effort.. that simply is not true someone like him if he is doing volume is spending big money each month on direct mail and SEO..

Yes, note investing is a completely different animal, apples to oranges.

We’ve been working towards this for a few years, and it is very exciting to finally see the fruit of our labor!

There is usually not much that compares with what we offer, so we only compete apples to oranges, so incentives are not a good tool for us.The types of tenants we want (multi year) also respond better to an adjustment in rent than an incentive.

Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: Take these California Malls ---- Eastmont Mall - Closed (Oakland); Carousel Mall - Closed (San Bernardino); Laguna Hills Mall - Closed (which was featured in BACK TO THE FUTURE); and the Village at Orange - Closed.

Hope your investing journey has been fruitful over there. 

When I say i've never had this issue, I mean- Even in the D class neighborhoods i've owned properties in, i've never dealt with vacant apartments for this amount of time.If you're comparing the 40 unit building next door to mine with security, it's sort of like comparing apples to oranges.

Here's the beginning of a long and (hopefully) fruitful journey.
