@Dan Heuschele@Mary MitchellNot singling out both of you, but I just thought I would include you both here.There are a LOT of unscrupulous Investors in Real Estate and how they operate is incredibly illegal and makes it very bad for Investors like me who follow the law.An example would be the case of an Investor that buys a "rent controlled building," for DIRT cheap, harrasses the tenants, including not making required repairs, to get them to move out and then in turn, forcing appreciation illegally while benefiting from the benefits (such as lower property tax) that the tax payers have given that investor to be entrusted and a good steward of the renters in a rent controlled building.There are even cases where the Landlord burnt down his rent controlled building to vacate it, reaping huge rewards years later.What this does to legit Investors like me who DO NOT BUY rent controlled buildings because of all of the requirements by law, is put us at a deep disadvantage of making money the sure and slower way because we pay close to market Price for our market rate buildings, which is EXTREMELY expensive compared to the rent controlled building.It is ENTIRELY unfair to both the tenants of those buildings AND legit Investors like me who refuse to break the law, harass tenants, etc. in order to break the limited revenue that the rent controlled buildings are under which is WHY they were cheap in the first place.In fact, what some of these landlords were doing was filing cases that just did not exist, knowing that a percentage of the tenants could not show up either because of medical, work or other reasons and would win a default judgement.It was so bad because the amount of cases that were presented in court backlogged NYC Housing Courts that it would have affected my own legit cases should I have one by causing these cases to be seen much later than would be normal.I don't agree with the characterization that ALL landlords are bad.... but it would equally be a mis-characterization to say that ALL landlords are good.The problem here is that the bad landlords affect people's lives.

Another friend was trained in electronics and got a job as a medical imaging technician.

-MFHs near Huntsville Hospital and Crestwood are unicorns  -housing in the "medical district" has exploded - now commonly selling for 150 to 200 per sq ft.  

I own single family, multifamily, retail, office space, medical, a laundromat I haven't opened up yet and a motel that I shut down to convert to multifamily. 

Now I will have to undergo another medical examination, as we were breathing the air teeming with bacteria. 

Prices tend to appreciate lower and at a slower pace.

If you have nothing to lose and someone who would help you if you were to get laid off, or had unexpected medical expenses, car repairs, etc...Then go for it.

I must be able to talk to one of themI require that they meet or exceed 3x the rent in monthly incomeI require that they do NOT have any collections on their credit score (with an exemption for medical because our Healthcare system is crap)You need to have a well thought out list of requirements so that you have reasons to disqualify people who aren't a good fit for your business.

That has to be the truth because we know that women invest at a much slower rater than men (we know this through data, and I can tell you as someone that works with a ton of investor, it's also anecdotally true).

I’m not sure how I can help but the process seems to be more or less the same as here in the states though definitely slower.
