They want peanut butter and American toilet paper.I can't see me telling customs that my cargo that I've carried for 6800 miles is 10 cases of toilet paper.

I have never had a rental property.My gut is to find another vacant parcel to improve, but I have coworkers and BP saying that multifamily is bread and butter, and I feel like $1M down could get a quality unit in a good area that would be a good long term play.

They warn of the next synthetic CDO.

Most agents I know are primarily residential, bread-and-butter sales.

You will find more "bread and butter" normal/blue collar type of tenants.  

For good bread & butter working class rental/resale rehabs I'd opt for posting "video surv in use signs" motion sensor lights outside, a timer on a radio & lamp inside and talk to the neighbors.

Dana:If you know how maple syrup and maple butter/brittle is made - the sap is reduced until it becomes a syrup or paste/solid - then you have the basic idea of how shatter (or a similar product called 'Wax') is made.Now substitute hash oil for the maple sap and reduce it into a thick syrup.  

You just described why those of us who buy for cash flow, and don't depend on potential future (kind of like synthetic plastic) equity build-ups as our reason for living, buy for cash flow.  

Before you throw rocks, I am talking about apples to apples bread and butter property.

My direct mail is my Bread and Butter.
