The terms you receive will generally depend on the quality of your deal, it's suitability to particular lender, who you know, and of course, your level of experience.

I grew up near Chicago and most people try to get me to return on the freshwater premise.It's a real concern in the macro view, but I think jobs and quality of life will be the bigger stories in the decade.

You will save over hiring a GC/architect/builder most times and if you pick the right guy, he will do quality work and not be a prick.

(quality, longevity of tenant?)

Hi,You are asking a very complex question....after 15yrs and 400+ transactions...You should start with some quality EDUCATION...Also, I look for a min 400+/mo cash flow from sandwich leases or toooo much risk.

couldnt help but chuckle at your interpetation of the quality of real estate continuing education classes. 

Let them know you might not get to everything but you want to be partners in providing them a quality home.

Personally, I'd ask him how much it increased and if it is a reasonable amount I would verify his normal bill and pay the difference to get the situation resolved and hopefully build a quality relationship in case it is ever needed.Just my two cents.

Those warmer climate areas due to continued demand have a higher chance of cap rate compressing for equity resale growth in a few years.The areas with low caps already even with quality there isn't much farther the caps can compress.

I'm trying to narrow my search based on job growth, quality of schools, public transportation and real estate taxes (as you know, the taxes here are brutal).
