During the week I work for a family office, my role is buying and selling commercial real estate (so I´m responsible for the transaction management) - at the moment we focus on bigger Retail and Hotel tickets on the German market.So why I´m here and what I´m looking for ??

Need some advice here on pest control.This is the third time in two years that I have to pay a professional pest control company to come treat and bait for roaches, specifically German roaches.Last time the tech told me German roaches are "brought in".Since they are otherwise good tenants for four years I decided to eat the cost of $300 each visit.Year 1 and 2, never ANY issue. 

So don't get on here and go chapter and verse as its not germane to the investing public. 

Sure enough one dog is a German Shepard, which is the 3rd or 4th dog deemed by my agent as not being allowed at property.  

Fredericksburg is a small German that hosts hundreds of thousands of travelers each year. 

I'm a car nut, especially older German cars.

Send me a PM and I’ll share a couple recommendations.Thanks,Mike German

Both bedbugs and German roaches are different than other pests in that they are almost always brought into the home instead of "invading" .

@Joe Splitrock  as we know this is all regional..although I do know some markets probably did go up 300 % from the low.I bought some homes in Ft Myers on the court house steps in 2010 for 30k ish  next less than 10 years old I flipped them for 50k to some Germans in a matter of a month or so.. but I suspect from the 30k they are worth north of 120k today.I was in philly this week and my vendor was showing me turn key homes he sold there in 2011 for 32k that would sell close to 100k today.I personally sold some of my OREO  ( homes I lent on and took back) in ATL area  in 2009 2010 for mid 30s and I am sure they are back over 100k.. when I lent on them they appraised in the 120's that was a f ing free fall in values.. so yes I think that 200 to 300% number is real in some markets.. probably Vegas and PHX as well as you mentioned.I had a sit down with my bankers last week for lunch.. and they are still bullish on 2018 and beyond.. rates may rise a little they said.. so they are still giving me construction loans on a spec basis.

Or deals to do with others.For me personally I just enjoy the break between signing escrow doc's LOL.. and of course just commenting on what has happened in the past and maybe a bunch of it is not germane to now.. but its fun to talk about anyway..
