@Bryan Sowieja  well not a popular thought but its realistic.having owned a bunch of rentals in Mississippi we get some pretty large tenants in those areas.And special toilets are required along with reinforcing sub floor below.. and they can wreak havoc on plastic tub shower combos... can't comment on if you can exclude them. but if you rent to folks that you know are quite heavy no matter there physical type  IE professional athlete  power lifter.. cage fighter  WWF or whatever... you do have certain realities in the bathrooms that need to be addressedI have had more than one 400 lb plus tenant have the toilet give way on them during the act. 

Some of the highlights are:“Florida is positioned to become one of the hottest spots in the country with rising demand, positive gains in recovery, really good fundamentals and positive momentum,” "Existing home prices will appreciate 3 percent; existing home sales will grow 3 percent to 5.4 million; new home sales will grow 16 percent to 580,000; and housing starts will increase 12 percent..."

., EU and many parts of Asia Pacific are spending gains from rising incomes, low interest rates and low oil prices, which should support GDP growth.Rents | In 2016, global prime rents across the three major property types—office, industrial and retail—are expected to grow 2.2% on an annual basis, according to estimates from CBRE’s Global Rent Index.Capital Markets | Global commercial real estate investment markets are expected to remain active in 2016, but the pace of growth is anticipated to slow after six years of recovery and price appreciation.Office | Most U.S. and European office markets are expected to tighten further in 2016 as demand for space is expected to outpace limited new development.

@Jay Hinrichs CA doesn't have a recovery fund to pay consumers that have been harmed by RE professionals?

This means you go after the tenant for the money long after most other debt would expire due to the statue of limitations.Take the judgment to a collection agency: Google for "Judgment Recovery" to find one. 

As of today, we have risen another 3% nationwide average since July 2015.The Midwest, from Wisconsin to Texas, are on the higher end of the price recovery, compared to other parts of the country, like East and West coast.I hope this helps you. :)

It helped a great deal with the market recovery as these Wall Street funds provided a role that the secondary loan servicing market was unable to perform for a few years.For the primary markets like, L.A., Las Vegas, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Boston these hedge funds sped up the recovery at a rapid rate.

Hello All,the thing about Marko Rubel which i noticed there , because i watched his webinar twice is that , he is trying to convenience everybody that his business model and strategies of financial solutions are the best through getting the profit by ownership , which is not taxable like as a capital gain , and it is the best model for the real estate growth now compared to the last 5 years of recovery after the 2008 market crash , while the money of wholesaling or flipping are not capital gain are taxable big time compared to that , so those models are not convenient to the current market and it's progression , i wanted to discuss this idea with anybody who might know or think of it , i do not think that is absolutely true , any ideas thanks Ehab T  

@Steve Babiak  @Jon S.Gas fired HWH while having the same capacity as an electric HWH, have a much quicker recovery period.  

The optimal time to buy in SoCal for this cycle was 2009-2012, so people jumping in today shouldn't expect the same stellar performance of the past few years until we are in recovery from some future recession, which could be many years from now.
