Section 8 - PRO's & CON's List
6 May 2017 | 15 replies
Outwardly, there is not a discernible difference.Our longest term tenant receives Section 8 benefits, does not have an entitlement attitude, is not high maintenance, keeps her apartment clean and tidy, abides by the terms of the rental agreement, is a good neighbor and pays her portion of the rent on time.

Are you wealthy?
4 January 2018 | 57 replies
So you divide the $10 million by 50 years and you get $200k a year to live on without working.If we look at the chart, we have a problem.No one would say the person in Scenario 1 would be classified as Ultra-Wealthy though he meets the definition.In Scenario 2, no one would say this person is in an EMERGENCY situation which is below broke.Each one of these has to have a STANDARD of LIVING in which we can calculate the Value of it.So if Scenario 1, we calculated the Standard of Living in the area where this person lived to be $2k per month, he is obviously living financially free, but way below the normal standard of living.In Scenario 2, if we also agree that he spends $200k / 12 = $16,667 per month but has not discernible income, he is still living WAY above the $2k per month income.In my opinion, the Value of the Standard of Living has to be taken into account.

The May rent strike looked really scary on social media but did not materialize into any discernible impact in May rent collection.What this means for investors is that we will need to diligently screen tenants (will likely need to be more creative given the new rules) and work to maintain positive relationships with them.

The Bigger Pockets Method???

Once you find that, you'll be able to blaze a path in the right direction and BP can help you with that.Example:If you want to flip houses, but can't swing a hammer, you better be able to assemble a great team.If you have time, but no discernible skills, being a bird dog for investors could yield you a few thousand dollars while you learn your team building skills.If you have money, and want to deploy it for a return, you can be a private lender with gap funding or even flip funding.The point is there are several ways to make a great living in this industry and the people that do it best tailor it to their particular skill set.One more example.

Hello: I recently signed up as PRO.I'm color blind and can't make out colors on the Graphs (a) Income and (b) Equity.Pl, consider adding in the legend that prints the graphs withblack hollow shapes namely: Diamond, Triangle, and Pentagon that is easily discernable to the naked eye.As stated earlier, my preference is to use Black and White Print outs.My hope is that you would consider my suggestion as I feel this suggestion could help others as well if they were to print in Black and White hard copies of the Analysis.NOTE: See attachment for more info. on suggestion offered.ThanksKishore.
