In my opinion, I don't think we will see a declination in value like we recently experienced.

From an investor's standpoint, condos usually come with HOA's (which can kill cash flow and fees can increase dramatically out of the investor's control.)Not to say that there are not any investors who purchase this type of property, but most experienced pros tend to stay away, baring some unusual circumstances, such as a condo conversion opp, or the incredible sellers market from 2002-2006 in CA, Vegas, AZ, FL, etc.

Texas hasn’t fallen so much in value because it never experienced the huge increases that other markets have.

I was told the reason evictions can take months is that landlords will attempt to do evictions on their own, and forget to cross a few t's and dot a few i's, or otherwise not follow the law properly.Although several hundred dollars seems extreme compared to $30 or so on your own, an experienced eviction attorney can get the job done quickly and relatively painlessly.

now i'm not saying every broker or seller will ask you these questions, but i am saying that 85% of the professional commercial brokers or sellers will. they do this to separate the tire-kickers from the players is what they say.so for all the people on here that has experienced this when getting started, how were you able to either sidestep these questions or answer them in a creative way that made the broker or seller feel comfortable in going forward and disclosing certain info about the property.

Has anybody else done this and experienced any goods/bads with it?

I am from Manchester NH and have been investing in real estate for 4 years......so I have experienced some of the best and wost real estate cycles already in my investing career!

Is everyone else experiencing the same thing?

I consider myself well experienced with charging these fees.

We are talking about a small mining town in north eastern Nevada that is experiencing a housing shortage.
