We were also able to purchase adjacent blighted properties to expand parking and also control the residents in the adjacent 6 unit apartment building.We are right over 10 years of ownership on this building and have had several movies/tv shows/music videos filmed there due to the retro styling.

Without it and you'll be hard pressed to get any conventional financing for the next few years and significant income to show for it.

I guess what I'm saying is that you might need to move forward on some of these leads, and press for an appointment (and chance to build more rapport) after getting even the faintest whiff of motivation.

I'm not sure how I should proceed because I want to press the issue feeling that I'd rather the seller disqualify me than be out of the game based on fear of rejection or an agent that may not understand what I'm trying to do.

It's like a TV series. 

People will be willing to accept significantly longer commutes, because they can sleep, watch TV or work during the commute.

I rent out an apt/condo, I rent out the rooms.Utilities are included with the rent..When doing this it's important to put on lease your utility Caps and to be clear.For example for water my cap is $50 anything above it gets divided by 4 (each tenant)What I notice is very important to these tenants is high speed internet they typically don't even watch Cable TV.

This fall and winter, they will be treated to a refurnished master bedroom with giant flat screen TV and a new 65" UHD TV in the living room.  

During the crash, it was so frustrating to watch people let their current home go back to the bank, while they moved all of their cars, boats, motorcycles, and giant TV's to a new cheaper home.

So I suppose I must do as the politicians - press the flesh!
