The Neuse and Pamlico rivers, along with everything that feeds into them, have risen and will continue to rise substantially due to Florence. 

My main deal breaker is a wholesaler that continually brings me deals that are not close to a deal in regards to the price.  

What I mean by that is continuing to feed the pot with a bad hand using the rationalization you have a lot of chips in there already that you would lose if you folded...and that would be completely wrong.Poker is a lot like REI in this regard. 

Assuming this continues to happen, we should see the values of all our homes in RO continue to uptick.

The stars line up if you continuously work.

Wishes you continued success with your future endeavors.

hi everyone,According to bestplaces.net stats , the population in Clevland has decreased by almost 19% between the years 2000-2017 (house depreciation 2008-2018: 30%ׁ)If the trend continues , I'm not going to see any appreciation in the near future.My question is how investors have the courage to invest in Cleveland according to this data? 

Do your homes have nice, established yards with features like patios, etc that you can brag on?

I just continue to hold it until the remaining tenant moves out and if there are no issues, I give it to them.

This thread has been a great reminder for me to ignore those places and continue look for value add opportunities that will fatten the rent roll and keep me from spending my retirement years working as a cashier at Walmart.
