One of my tenants is currently moving out because they need less space (going to one bedroom from two bedroom) I just had another tenant move in because they needed more space (going from 2 bedroom to 3 bedroom).

Hi @Jeff Oberts, here is a public one I created a while back if you want to check it out.  

Less competition in this space.

We have encouraged people to look us up on-line at the county assessor site, the property owner names are public.

Upcoming foreclosure auctions are found in public notices in newspapers of general circulation for a period of weeks prior to the auction sale.

I currently work in NYC so the location need to be close to public transportation, since I work crazy hours.

Basically, instead of testing every outlet and door handle, he is inspecting the larger and more concerning items, i.e. electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, drainage, attic space, foundation, crawl space/basement, etc.PM me if you want his info.

This list is public records and could be found by going directly to the county or city.

The risk though is that influx of inventory could decrease demand in the area if there is no influx of people wanting to live there.Neighborhood wise, I think it could help bring money into the city with all the retail space but as far as population makeup I think that's definitely a preference.

Each one of them have a flashy websiteOne can invest in the Public REITS, but will not get much diversification from the stocks & bonds & presently have low yields.I understand the step up in basis for the heirs after we pass away, but at some time in the future(in old age) if we decide to not do 1031 Exchange anymore, I suppose we will have to pay the Cap Gain Taxes, only it will be a much larger sum as all the carried over proceeds will be taxed.
