This does tighten the belts on a lot of investors who were at a cash advantage during the crash and now aren't able to realize those impressive double digit returns that they were so accustomed to. 

Here’s where metro Phoenix take a fair hit due to its triple-digit temperatures pushing up AC bills.Appreciation: 9.51.

You can own a high quality retail strip center and generate double digit returns with national tenants with leases backed by thousands of locations.Additionally if an investor just wants to look at a spreadsheet then they can invest with my development projects for retail.

FWIW, I do scan them and keep a digital copy as well, but that's more for convenience than for ever needing the document.

If I really wanted something done fast I could order title at 8am and have a full title commitment by 4pm that day and close the next.. our title plants are all digital and each title and escrow company has a plant in the respective counties.. we get GREAT title and escrow service here.. and its UBER competitive.. do you ever have your title rep come over with gifts and take you to lunch.. ???? 

Remember I said that at the beginning of the year we had inventories in most counties in double digit months.

If it needs to be more discreet, you can find analog (https://goo.gl/DLQwFZ) or digital (http://a.co/gJbePoa) ones through a web search.Since I plan to hold really long term, the hassle and labor to install is large, and I don't have to have to coordinate with tenants around utility-related work in the future, I buy the most durable meters I can find in hopes I don't need to touch them again.

Access for the appraiser:Depending on the size of the building and what the appraiser needs access to, digital locks may have helped bridge the gap and provide remote access for the appraiser.

There are a ton of platforms to digitally sign the lease.   

One tip is to use digital locks so each resident can have a sense of privacy.Best to you.
