We believe that the reason C class properties were disproportionately impacted by the crash has to do with the job sectors in which the different tenant pools worked.Class C properties in Las Vegas generally rented in the range of $450/Mo. to $700/Mo. and were largely occupied by construction workers and hourly service workers.

Consensus builder; highly adept at constructing transactions that benefit all parties.

I have managed many new construction projects and flips, but have yet to buy an income property of my own.

i would connect the two so that it turns on when the light is turned on, if separate chances are they are not using it.as far as the bedrooms, i don't know the construction out there, but i'm guessing the walls are not that well insulated and with the a/c inside and hot humid outside, that can cause this if not broken by a well insulated wall. this is a major health problem inside and needs to be addressed, see if there are any energy co. out there that will test the insulating value in the house where they install a fan at the door and check the house for leaks and insulation value.

Could you do the same in development such as owning your own construction company and architects and agents and what not, along with the development itself?

I have spent over two decades in construction, both residential and currently in commercial, and am looking to continue with residential rehab projects. 

Hopefully I can give back to the community by sharing my life time of construction experience, especially for New Yorkers. 

Construction loans are different than other loans.  

Regardless of what I got for my degree I have been in the construction business ever since I got out because I felt more comfortable with it.  

@Susan, congratulations on your new venture.You indicated that you are new at REI and never done a new construction from ground up... then here are my honest suggestions.
