I was using my Craftsman Evolv and it got it’s a*s kicked midway through this renovation.  

Fair housing law is a complex and constantly evolving body of law.

As my thinking has evolved over time, and 163 deals, I've come to believe that its not for everybody, and that's a good thing.

Own a commercial multi-tenant building in one of the smaller towns (all within 100 miles of Atlanta) which is evolving into a tourist destination and just bought an old historic hotel building there along with 3 other partners who are also somewhat experienced investors - we plan to renovate the hotel which also contains a historic restaurant, bar and retail space from a flophouse apartment building into something cool :wink: .

.- I have rarely have any rent problems with students because they have guarantors or student loans, grants, etc- Your lease constantly needs to be evolving. 

How has that plan evolved since you began?

Out here in the city of the angels (Los Angeles) many renters are former home owners that lost or walked away from their upside down hyperinflated homes.So the credit ratings I have seen look like 10 miles of bad road, and while income is stable at 3x we have had to evolve with the market pressures.So it is now a big picture proposition (how we look at prospective tenants).Hope this 0.02 has helped,Tevis

I think as a beginning investor, I'd rather miss out on a few deals than jump in before you're ready, and once your plan evolves, the deals will make sense within your parameters or they won't.

I'm curious, and I want to compile here brief outlines or stories that show how our community members’ real estate career (and retirement) plans have evolved.
