I've seen them pounding beers before going in to work. 

I also have a thousand pound gun safe down there with some of my prized possessions in it. 

I’d rather save that type of down payment for markets out of state.It sounds like I need to pound the pavement and work my lenders in the area a little harder and seek out more opportunities.Thank you for your time and input.

Not posting on Zillow to avoid a $10 a week fee would be penny wise and pound foolish in my opinion.

But the guests are not going up particularly much. to me the 800- pound gorilla in the room is still too many people piling in thinking short-term rentals are the answer. except for a few markets, and I'm not even sure about them, I am expecting a mega collapse in short term rental markets, and it's just a matter of when.

That way if a tenant goes out you might be able to improve the credit quality with a regional or national tenant at higher rent rates and compress your cap rate value and grow NOI.The retail centers that will get pounded are those to the side, behind other buildings, poor sightlines, etc. where only mom and pop tenants wanted them because rent was lower in a nicer area.

When I essentially told them to go pound sound they offered to finance the deal for me.

For myself, we have 7 new tenant placements this week the office is pounding out the paperwork on, I am listing half a dozen turn-key units for sale, we have 3 purchase offers we are moving through, 250 odd units on "cruise-control" with less than 2% revenue variance from covid-19, I am working through a few buy opportunities, 1 under contract, and I don't even know whats coming up next week or month, on average another 20+ tenant placements and so on.

“Speakers” arrive to a fake name, my address, and turn out to be a poorly packaged pound of weed in a bag, stuffed in a box.

At $50 a month, which is very inexpensive for a dog over 40 pounds, you would have collected an additional $1,800 towards repairs.
