And they are by and large A class properties that sell for 4 to 5 caps and in Beaverton these apartments support Nike and Intel along with Genentech Fujitsu and many other high tech companies they call it the silicon forest so our multi here is nothing like you see in Memphis..

The reason is to MAKE MONEY, you wouldn't buy stock in GOOGLE or NIKE if you KNEW it was going to LOSE MONEY every month for years, on the OFF CHANCE that it would appreciate enough to sell it for a profit.

Some I did very well (NIKE, WENDYS, MICROSOFT) other I took some pretty bad losses on (JDS UNIPHASE).

I've done well with most of my individual stokcs but none as good as.NKE, That's Nike, the guys with the "swoosh", Michale Jordan did great things for them, and a young guy named Tiger Woods has really moved this stock.

If one of us had given up a pair of Nike shoes we would be $1000+ richer.

whats your thought... in our area of PDX you have cities fighting to annex in county... they want the tax base.well maybe because  Nike world headquarters campus happened to be their target LOL

And now that I think about it... as I recall Nike, Motorolla, Intel, etc. were dealing with key employee's property management and resales when they went abroad for say two years or more, which was typically just 'outsourced' to local companies, much like say finding a buyer's agent in another demographic to work with LO buyers and sellers for a percentage split, so one can do deals outside of their own back yard.

Last week I bought two pairs of Nikes at Goodwill for $20 and I flipped them the following day for $40.

In over 70 years of having extremely good luck I have learned advice is only noise unless it has been requested so I will stop for now with the recommendation to pay attention to the Nike motto: "Just Do it."

Michael Jordan and Nike.
