Hi there,I recently was forced to evict a “tenant” from a home that I know in Royal Oak, MI.

No decision so far.Personally, I think the real logic of the FCAs review is to force investors into REITs if the investors really want liquidity.

I personally know other landlords who have been forced to pull their gun out and brandish it to stop the commission of a crime.

The disappearance of the middle class is forcing many to have to rent.  

In which case you are likely better off going to forced air.

Quote from @Kent Ford: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Kent Ford: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: the reasons you post.tax's  somewhat limited development regulations compared to other markets. work force   also close to Mexico and all the folks streaming in that need housing.building cost still lower than most of the country.Land forever .. no shortage sprawl is not a bad word.Political out look  conservative business friendly compared to West coast. 

When other ones would come up (STR/Multi) it forced me to say no and focus. 

@Nick Burrell recommend you start looking for "deals" that you can sell to other investors.This will force you to learn how to find them AND evaluate them.You'll generate commissions you can accumulate to start flipping.

@Brett Deas  They are not forced to fill in facility and sometimes location is where they are not where they are going.

That might also change what strategy you use seeing as you might be able to find some ways to use less up front cash to get a property by using the BRRRR method or finding something you can force appreciation with.
