I simply respond "I'm not prepared to discuss other offers."

Hold the line on refusing the new change order, turn this information over to our lawyer to prepare for the worst and move forward with a new contractor to complete the work.

Hello,Does anyone knows where I can get data about the percentage of properties bought with the help of real estate agents vs the ones that are made by the owners in different countries (specially in Europe)?

You could also focus on the great financial advantages of renting/down-sizing (travel more, no more yard to care for/repairs, buy an RV, visit family more)Host a senior-focused event at your facility (maybe show an uncut version of Woodstock haha) or live music, a Social Security expert speaker or Doctor to address health issues, a fund-raiser, art show, etc. and hand out flyers with a special "one month free" coupon attached Have exercise classes for seniorsWeekly bingo nightsPromote your events for free on community calendars, newspapers, seniors sections of papersPrint door hangers and get some kids to hang the door hangers at trailer parks, older communitiesEncourage your current tenants to invite friendsRent a 15-passenger bus ($50) and offer free transportation to key eventsSponsor events at senior centers in the areaCo-Sponsor service club (Rotary, Kiwanis, etc who have many senior members) eventsPut up banners and balloons when you have eventsI hope at least a few of those ideas might spark some interest.

Are you prepared to deal with screening tenants?

Different companies specialize more in one than the other.

Jim you keep doing these post like this and NO ONE is going to buy rentals ever again LOLbut seriously I like that you balance out all the blue sky and bring reality to the equation.buying rentals is not a set it and forget investment no matter what.can be with really special A class to strong B class but no way with blue collar 800 to 1000 dollar tenants.. don't care where how or what.. they are all people. some are pigs some are clean and neat some in the middle and you can't tell with an application .I suspect if you took the time to go check out their automobile before you rented to them.. or did a sneak pop in on where they are living now before they move into yours you might catch the pigs before they move into your freshly rehabbed home.

Definitely need to make sure all your ducks are in a row and be prepared for that fight if you opt to take the risk.

If I can start my own corporation, what other requirements I need to prepare to start a Real Estate Investment company? 

A local tax preparer could do this one as well, take 20 mins of your time and save yourself $100.
