My rents didn't go up for a couple years, but I never had vacancies and only picked up a couple properties because a bit chunk of my equity disappeared...but it's back, and higher than ever.

Could be an opportunity to disappear for two years and come out with some serious cash afterwards.

So, either he is just a lazy house keeper and likes to make idle threats, or he is truly the pathetic, greedy ahole I believe him to be because he hopes I will write him a check for $15,000 to come here, walk around the streets and point to contractors working on a house, then tell me those are the people I should be talking to.

Women only, that means "no threat to succeed"It's like saying "I want to associate only with people who paint by putting a paintbrush in their toes".

Hi everyone,My property has a cell phone tower on its roof, and I just received a letter from the carrier saying they've decommissioned some of their microwaves, and that they want us to reduce rent in light of this usage change.There's an implied threat of terminating the lease ("<carrier> will similarly consider this site's viability and continue to evaluate alternatives").Now, I assume they'd have to at least stick around for the next several years until the end of the current arm of our lease, but I do enjoy the stability of having a much longer term lease with them.So... is this just a bluff, to shake out people who are easy?

This is fiction: that any servicing company pays as agreed for 12 months and the existence of the loan just magically disappears.

I'm a realtor in the Phoenix area of Arizona, and we're not seeing as much of a slowdown as you might expect.Yes, it will have some impact, but it's not like housing demand suddenly disappears overnight because of some virus.Did a couple open houses last weekend and have 5-6 people through a day like it was nothing.

The cities needed the blight to disappear once again and the GFEs needed someone to take their loans off their hands and the super-cheap boom was born. 

It can all disappear so fast, so enjoy what you have, build with what you got, and prosper in everything you learn.
