BEAUVAIS I believe rents will continue to appreciate at a reasonable rate for B+ property, as potential buyers still have difficulty getting approved by lenders and need to rent. 

In a rising market the management issues don't show up as much because people overlook them and many buy on pro forma.When the market is weakening due to overbuilding or job losses, these poorly managed properties will have difficulty selling thus leading to rapidly falling prices.Shortly after this part of the cycle is the time to buy. 

Good to know that a tri or 4 is more difficult. I

One of the reasons I have such a distain for gurus is that they approach any situation as some simple step by step process, nothing in RE is like that and there are different degrees of difficulties in strategies that are not understood by new investors, dealing in or near foreclosures is the most difficult in residential or even commercial deals for an investor type.

Angry investors = misery...and difficulty if you ever want to raise money for another deal!

Not an expert, but I don't really see more difficulty involved.

Some times we have to go through a lot of difficulties to best learn what NOT to do in the future.

If I introduce a contractor he's approaching it from his point of view - what repairs need to be done, what extra ones can I point out so I get more money for the job, and how difficult is it to do?

We are likely to see more of this technology and others that tenants want, so we must be prepared for this.2.

If I were to join and try to build up the business and get into home building possibly how difficult is this to do?
