What do you think of the bars around the windows?

If you vet tenants properly, you will have few problems in any state, barring loss of jobs.

The bar is lower than you might think.

To respond to your inquiries, Helen:1) The interest rates for bars are expected to vary slightly, yet they will be substantially more stable compared to the current fluctuations in the capital markets which is why people would do it.

That's our basic bar of comparison.Is it better to earn 5% risk-free with 100% liquidity?   

I've written these up on a bar napkin myself, but @Stuart Udis might have a better version or idea :-)

Im in charge of the bar and the bar tenders.

With the simple understanding that these are agency representation marketing/sales, James Wise is vastly raising the bar on information disclosure.

G'Day everyone,Just wanted to write a quick post to "set the record straight" on the Toledo market.A few investors recently asked me if the Toledo market was "Booming".I can with full confidence tell you that it isn't and it probably never will...Many "Toledoians" might say that it is but in my opinion that is because they haven't educated themselves on other truly "Booming" markets around the nation.I will say this though, the Toledo market has probably never been better.Downtown is very alive with new hotels, restaurants and bars opening up.ProMedica Hospital is doing wonders for the downtown region along with other areas across Toledo.All of this is fantastic new but let's not confuse it with other "Booming" markets like a Texas or Florida for example.Cranes everywhere, new apartments being built, high population growth, jobs, tech, etc...Toledo and other Midwest cities will just never have the demand/appeal as some other areas across the country.Granted, I really don't know of any other market where you can indeed get a "better bang for your buck".Solid B class properties for the price of a parking spot like in some other higher growth markets lolKeep in mind that 1 or 2 properties won't make you rich so you must have a growth type mindset to do well in the Midwest.Building a large portfolio of 10+ properties will make it stable, safe and will provide a better long term return on investment.Thanks for reading and Happy Investing

Will small business follow (food trucks, bars)?
