I think the Folio gave people the illusion of liquidity and evidently there was very little activity in trading.

While some do very well, I have seen posts where people have touted these large returns to try and entice HML to provide them funds for a deal, and after talking with them it was evident early in the conversation they were not a skilled investor.In regards to areas to invest - I can only speak to DC right now which I have paused buying properties in my market as there are too many investors overpaying right now and while I will buy if the price is right, I will if the price is right. 

I don't have direct evidence, but it feels like I'm already being qualified by the banks at posted rates!

Do you have any evidence that "these" deals close every day?  

So there is evidence that unit has been in same condition before and after the notice. 

I was then told there had been damage, and it would therefore not be refunded.I asked for evidence, and was sent photographs of a scratch and some scuffs to an elevator door surround, along with a note saying the area had 'just been painted'.I have no idea if these marks were there before.  

You will also know how many days you must return it by and what evidence is required in order to deduct the expense (receipts).Also in future purchases with inherited tenants, you will want to ask the current owner for their payment histories, estoppel certificates, etc.When it comes to working with tenants you inherit, you often have to retrain them.

which clearly demonstrates we have had the ability to construct much more energy efficient buildings for a generation, but due to inertia and low energy costs have lacked the political and economic will to put it into practice.While I am a big proponent of the Passivhaus principals and the EnerPHit guidelines for retrofit of older buildings - I'm presently working towards my Passivhaus certification - there is some evidence that the target of 15 kWh/m^2 per year, while cost effectively obtainable in most of Europe is not so in parts of Canada - due to our harsher climate.  

Here is a part of the letter, I sent to the seller:The home inspection was completed on September 29th (please see attached) and the following issues were pointed out: 1.The wooden floor frame in the middle unit is deteriorating due to either prior water leak in the bathroom or due to moisture infiltration through the walls and foundation.2.There is evidence of significant settlement under the middle unit bathroom and north closet.3.The settlement of the floor and walls has also resulted in settlement of the roof frame above this area, ceiling shows cracks.4.There is an obvious depression on the roof – water is ponding on the roof above the middle unit, which adds excessive weight on the roof and potential for leaks.5.Asbestos containing material has been found.6.The current bedroom heat installations in the north and south units pose a safety hazard from carbon monoxide, fire and oxygen depletion.7.An electrician performing upgrades did not use ‘arc fault breakers’ in the north and south unit breaker panels, which is required by the national electrical code.8.Upgrades to the electrical system, promised by a real estate agent, have not been completed yet.

While the top tax rate for ordinary income is 39.6%.There is no true, evidence based reason to disincentivize actual work.
