One way or another, however, the investors must work to pay down loans, increase rents and decrease expenses wherever possible.

And during inflationary times, our rental rates increase.

After talking to 3 companies, you should have a median price of what the cost will be.Keep in mind, a professional company tends to have processes in place to increase efficiency like inventory management and 24/7 phone coverage.

I believe that this is due to (finally) rising interest rates deflating asset values, which is highly correlated to the exponential increases in income for top earners like CEOs, executives, money managers, RE investors, and Private Equity Groups.To me, the only logical stance is "rational optimism" (I heard this term from Morgan Housel).

@Jonathan SchwartzIt is assumed that the NOI will increase relative to the purchase price of the property, therefore increasing the terminal cap rate.For example:100k NOI @10% cap = 1M valueA 3% increase over 10 years =134,392 NOI134,392 NOI on 1M value = 13.4% CapCommercial property doesn't appreciate like residential properties.

You'll attract the guests that will appreciate that and are willing to pay more for it. 

I actually had to get enough units where I could offer tenants multiple housing options when I purchased properties rented at way under market rates and then (an embarassing number of times) personally watch tenants that would "suffer" from a rent increase turn down smaller (but nicer places) or  nicer places in a less prestigious zip code (sometimes only minutes away) before I realized that I was hampering my ability to earn a living in order to subsidize the lifestyle choices made by a some random stranger that happened to live in a property I bought.

First of all really appreciate you taking time and sharing your thoughts.A couple of things:- Why would they attract my attention and ask me to come “see the ace in person for the full experience”?

If they are a conditional approval, which is very rare, there will be an increased security deposit. 

Purchase price: $450,000 Cash invested: $5,000Purchased this home to live in, then rented it and moved out just over a year later, this is my second deal like this, according to Zillow I owe about what Zillow says its worth but I got it at a good rate, although it was at the peak of real estate right before everything dropped and rates started increasing.
