My biggest fear or weaknesses will be trusting lenders, trusting Real Estate Agents, and trusting contractors.

And I thought it was rather weak to begin with. 

[Source: TradingEconomics.com]The number of new homes built for the last 10+ years has been chronically lower than the previous decades.​​

When you are weak and desperate you are desperately trying to find a way out and looking for someone to trust.

Calvin Lee,You won't really find a 7 cap Dollar General in a strong suburban to urban core location unless limited years remaining on primary lease term and mostly cash deals or very small financing.The brand new Dollar Generals with upgraded construction all around in strong suburban to urban core areas tend to sell for 5.75 to 6.4 caps with new leases in place.The 7 cap new Dollar Generals tend to be in crap areas weak suburban to rural and cheap construction and many times on septic systems instead of county or city sewer.Every once in awhile in a strong location there might be a 7 cap with 10 years left on a high end Dollar General at 3 million in price or up.These have no rental increases in primary lease term so year over year your income dollar becomes worth less and less.

Real estate is very different.Landlord-tenant laws are only one small component of the decision-making and it's just an issue you deal with when for investing in a highly dynamic market like NYC.On the flip side, if I take my market Milwaukee: despite a chronic housing shortage, we don't have a national home builder working here.

Weak brands can just change name and logo and start over, and most people wouldn’t know the difference.

Addiction is the disease of chronic relapses and heroin is a monster, so issues do occur.

The growth is mostly in the surrounding suburbs, but we also have a chronic housing shortage both for sale and for rent.

Every team and brokerage will have different pros/cons and strengths/weaknesses.
