@Matt Smith the reality is that Chicago is full of "non-conforming" units.

Your argument is based on outdated assumptions and ignores the reality of today’s labor market.

Reality is there is way more buyers than deals.

It’s subtle but constant, and I can’t seem to tune it out.I’m exploring every possible way to mitigate the sound, but the reality is that I can’t change the home’s proximity or line of sight to the roads.

In Berlin, rental arbitrage has been very profitable, with average annual margins of 25-40% after all costs but before taxes, so shifting to a market where arbitrage is barely breaking even is definitely a reality check.Given your experience, would you say the best way to enter the market now is through purchasing properties with financing?

How do you approach educating people on the realities of the business? 

Looks like you have 10 props, so reality is you will have 2 evictions. 

I have found that I will need more networking to build the team necessary to make it a reality.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

On paper it looks good, but the reality is a different story.
