I was going to continue building a portfolio meant for the long run instead of quick short term profits, and survive the ups and downs of any market condition.And I bought well, very well perhaps, as most of my deals were 50-60% what banks were asking.

Thanks,  I am happy to be on here.It is a stable, sort of boring market.If you place a great ad, and screen well you can find tenants pretty quick.Since not much changes in the local economy (university / hospital / military town) the prices do not increase quick, so it is touch to get a lift in value on a building without doing big renos or holding for a long time.Michael P Currie
