I think if you're comfortable with it and your screen your tenants well, it shouldn't be a problem.I think reducing sob stories and tenant drama has more to do with how you screen your tenants and how you "train" them so to speak.

Hello everyone,I’ve been trying to find more information about the bullet train under construction in Fresno.

While a little more headache up front to setup and some ongoing maintenance efforts the income is way larger which help the NOI (which push the value up) and the owner can also depreciate the costs of the machines and write off the expenses of the normal maintenance costs.

After reading books like the “Millionaire Real Estate Investor” by Gary Keller, and “HOLD”, by Steve Chader, Jennice Doty, Jim & Linda McKissack, the general train of thought seems to be buy the property with no less than a 10% below retail to achieve instant equity.I’ve been experimenting with some scenarios to see what my best offer might be on a deal.
