Everything I have read or heard, including my business law classes, says that the lease is still in effect.

This was very effective for the constantly damp basement floor of one of my daughters homes.good luck  

But above comment is probably right about tragedy of the commons effect on "everyone's laundry area" which can be a cleaning and utility cost issue and even vagrant or misuse issues..

If you go to Meetup.com there are a few REI Groups and Associations locally, good place to meet people and they have an e-mail list that everyone communicates through.Good Luck!

Their are a lot of mis communication about what the home depot can or can't do for you.

Learn the basics first about real estate, we eat an elephant one bite at a time.Initially, work with an agent who has experience and where you can feel free to ask questions, you need a good communicator. 

Although I see why you are curious about its effects, inflation adjusted IRRs are not generally used in a commercial real estate analysis (especially given the current low-inflation environment).

This would give an effective APR of about 9.5%.

I mostly communicate via email or text at first and if it a pricey item or a bit out of my way to get to, I call them right before I head out so they know I'm coming.

I was recently laid off from a marketing communications job that I did for 25 years in oil & gas and now I'm trying real estate investing full-time in the Houston and surrounding areas.I am anxious to get started and look forward to meeting and learning from other real estate professionals like yourselves.
