And...you had better start believing that a lot of real estate investors lose money and many investors' egos cause them to inflate their profits even when their profits are negative.I will sit on my investment cash until the end of time when the risk-to-reward ration is not highly favorable.Overall, I will partner with someone like my woman friend who is super passive and since the day she invested in 2001 she never asked me one question about the book keeping, never visited one property and never asked one question about more than $2.5 million worth of remodeling that was done to the 3 buildings.

With the numerous unique industry features MN has, it will continue to out perform many if not most markets during stagflation or recession cycles.

They tend to try leverage the threat of a bad review for a monetary reward. 2.
