It's true that many buyers rely on some kind of financing, so understanding their funding process is key.

So true

This is especially true for the city and for most of the trendy neighborhoods.

Also lots of sellers have locked in <4% rates and don't want to buy at 7% The above is all true, but that fact is not going to make the bond market push down mortgage rates.

They told my attorney that they were trying to obtain “seed” capital (from me) to finance the lawsuit against their true targets.  

I looked into True Submeter but they don't service California and I am waiting to hear back from California Sub Meter.Thanks in advanced! 

Quote from @Devin James: True, but it's foolish to invest without a basic understanding of how to purchase and manage the investment.

While it's true that many investors are drawn to the Midwest for favorable cap rates and the 1% rule, Las Vegas still holds potential, especially for short-term rentals like Airbnb due to its high tourism volume.

I notice you skip right over who does the clean up, Jim, and who has to approve building in areas that aren’t defensible.I also see that now you admit that your fairy-dust belief that people “will” work with insurance companies to clean up is not necessarily true.

That is true, a lot of people if they don't at least attempt to be good at their job or at least be consistent they will also fail in other fascets in life sometimes.
