Even with cold calling, we need to be strategic.

But guys who I'm strategically aligned with have done so.

I have a duplex with only a master water meter. What’s the best strategy (besides switching to sub meter) to take when charging my tenants? 

This way you have more time, to do research, align funding, and strategize multiple exits if necessary.Once a RE agent gets ahold of the property, everyone and their brother will know about it because it will go on the MLS.

It is a strategic tax planning strategy where they intent to hold for exactly 12 months and then reposition again into more suitable replacement property through another 1031 Exchange, but be careful that you don't settle for a "dog."

This may be a case where someone is attempting a strategic default.

Strategic thinking led you to maximize the value of this investment.  

Well.... the existing sublfoor ended up being in much worse shape than we thought and we had to remove it...So this is basically a new build from the original foundation up...In hindsight and considering all the problems we encountered and extra demo cost to "strategically demo for the Pop Top", had we just torn the ENTIRE thing down we would have saved 10's of thousands of dollars and been done about 6 months ago!

There have been some employment wins lately with the Woodward expansion in Loves Park, a new call center on State Street, and a aircraft mechanic school at the airport.  

Sometimes playing along with someone's psychological weakness (like that need for power) can be a strategic decision.
