So in 10 years I'm collecting $7100 rent and have $1,170,000 in appreciation if the market performs the same as it has for the last 40+ years.Or I can bail just like I've witnessed EVERY decade for the last 5 only to piss away the rent growth and appreciation. 

I feel I'm at my wits end with this tenant.

Take a couple of witnesses with you, get in there and take pictures of every square inch.  

If the deal is for $140k all cash (and you get $40k right back), you're probably OK. but any half-wit loan officer the tenant uses will see right through what you did, which is to artificially bump up the market history of the property to influence the appraisal and mortgage size the tenant is applying for.

Are you prepared for the thrill of making money using your wits instead of your back?

[iv] While there are certain analysts screaming the “B” word,[v] I just don’t see this market witnessing unsustainable growth.

I hear a lot of great advice for screening tenants for rental properties wit SFR and MFR, but what kind of screening do you do for a small business looking to lease office/warehouse/work space?

@Stefan Dickert   check out Myrarebird.com  they have once a month meetings it cost a little bit to join them but they don't pitch products and give some good solid advice from what I witnessed. the two gentlemen who run it are VERY knowledgeable and good guys to know.My daughter is in corporate finance at Intel so you can imagine with the shake ups how busy she has been LOL.. wish you the best

Tab, 203k is a great plan to start wit has but it comes with its pros and cons.Cons: 1.

I can't tell you the amount of motivation I've witnessed from almost every trade when it comes to the gold standard for them of being able to be paid weekly, a check every Friday is sometimes the most valuable thing you can trade with in your negotiations.
