As to the point about C buildings taking years to lease up that doesn't happen if you buy correctly.Due diligence should be performed in the local area as to what other apartment buildings there are with the age,unit mix,rents,amenities,location,and current occupancy levels.Sellers and brokers like to paint a picture of our rents for example are 550 a month.You have to ask the question WHY.Is it because the property doesn't offer amenities?

I guess this all seems to make sense in that I came from a mixed environment and have continued in one.

It's a great point and a good one to remember as we mix with various investor groups & REIs.

The can of beans is dented, the pancake mix box is crushed on the top.

Mix a solution of bleach and water , 70% bleach , 30% water and add some dawn dishwashing soap .

Still mixed results in South Florida!.

The U.S Census predicts by 2050 whites will not be the predominate race.Mexican,Latino etc. are predicted to be.The reason is Whites on average have 2 children or less.The Mexican,Latino community have very large families with 4 to 6 children on average per couple.It's simply math that over time they will overtake the White class by numbers.Asians will grow by a large number as well.These are actual statistics so please don't start any race or political stuff people.I think different races live differently so tenant mix will have an impact with investing moving forward.

You probably don't want that thrown into the mix.

Good points about not to mix identity.

I am able to fly for free as I am a commercial pilot, and I have plenty of hands on experience with rehabs I plan to put to use overseeing this endeavor.To add a huge question into this mix, the property I currently have is in the south end of Oceanside .5 miles from the beach.
