They last 5-10 years and a lot of times all needed is clean, buff and re coat.

I have one in a rental that was there when I bought it.It has held up very well because I sanded it and coated it with 3 coats of MARINE grade polyurethane.

Sites like White Coat Investor could be used for sponsors like our former Optometrist apartment syndicator.  

As a practical matter college student loan debt is a weird animal, as you have had a taste of in your own experience, many people incur it in pre-adult phase when they weren't very responsible (don't ask me how I know!) 

I also noticed on some of the new fence pickets I just replaced, that some animal has been chewing through brand new wood.  

I would suggest having trench-less sewer lateral work done.Roots will continue to grow into the pipes since that is the best source of nutrients.Roots will grab toilet paper and anything that probably should not have been flushed down the toilet.The trench-less solution is a pvc type sleeve that will coat the inside of the pipe that roots cannot penetrate.

NPN is a totally different animal much more complicated and much more risky.My clients and I had about 50 million invested in notes I originated.. are looking for safety first return second.. really depends on where your at..but once you get on the track and if your notes pay like clock work and you reinvest every dollar of cash flow like many of my clients did for decades you end up with one monster portfolio and cash flow and Liquidity..

Mobile home parks are a very different animal in that Andriy's scenario is not that uncommon.  

Hello,I have completed a couple flips and rehabbed a multi-family and am now setting my sights on a local abandoned factory.I understand this is a different kind of animal and am looking for guidance in this process.I have already gained legal permission to do due-diligence on the property owner,completed a Phase I study, have preliminary drawing to meet local zoning board requirements, and have the Town Economic Developer on-board.However, I wonder if my effort has been in vain as I am not sure if the rents would cover the cost of construction expenses.For this kind of project, should I have gotten a feasibility study done first?

I've used this to add rent for extra animals brought into the house, charge tenants for damage, talking tenants down when they want me to pay for a plumbing bill that they called in & didn't tell me about until they presented the bill to me, tenants asking for upgrades or unnecessary items, etc, etc.
