But if you want access to the benefits that people like me have contributed to, and collectively spent decades and god knows how many millions of dollars building, why would you think you should get access to those items for free? 

How did that contribute to their error?

My ultimate life goal revolves around investing in communities where I can actively contribute to the flourishing arts scene.Lately, I've teamed up with a group of like-minded friends and investors 🤓, and together, we're embarking on a mission to acquire properties in out-of-state markets that are closely tied to artistic hubs.

Great thread, thanks all for the contribution.

I am by no means proposing this, but just as Medicare premiums, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from retirement accounts, and contribution limits for IRA/401k accounts are adjusted for inflation, would it be fair to suggest that rent increases could follow a similar model to ensure that both landlords and tenants are treated equitably?

Outside of my insights from data, there are a few things I'd like to pop in here to hopefully take this conversation in a direction that helps us all learn from this and grow in our businesses together, elevate the industry together, find a path to co-exist where each business contributes to the overall industry growth... challenges the other to innovate and create fresh new solutions for customers to win big... and leads towards our industry getting stronger not weaker. 

I contributed by putting in all the sweat equity in the property.

Contributions like this make BP a very useful tool.While I agree with most of what you wrote I see C/D properties expending an average of 40% of rents averaged out at scale.

I appreciate you contributing to our thought process.  

I'm particularly interested in networking with fellow investors, investor-friendly agents, property managers, and real estate professionals who share a passion for the multifamily sector.I am eager to learn from the wealth of experience in this group and equally eager to contribute my insights and experiences as I navigate this exciting journey.
