(I have not signed and returned a copy to the tenants) Within the past week or so while renovating the vacant unit, Ive noticed an unusually high amount of activity pertaining to one of the occupied units i.e. vehicles stopping at the property for short periods of time, the tenant leaving as a passenger in a vehicle, then returing on foot, different people coming and going on foot.

NOI, and by extension the cap rate allows people to compare 2 different assets.The amount of leverage an investor uses, and the rate at which he borrows, and the length of time they have to pay back that debt are completely independent factors from the asset.

I feel like people before me who started out are probably doing the same thing.

What do fire people do if they are not sure where they want to retire in 10-20 yrs?
