Personally, I look for sustainable cash flow first and consider property appreciation as a bonus, but I do know in certain markets that investors will hold for appreciation, which is a bit risky for me.  

:-)Looking to more REI learnings and having good win-win long term connections here at BP.Thanks BP community for all the good value posts shared every day.

For instances, the PM keeps the tenants in place for two years maybe they get a bonus.  

For example, a lot of sellers are still extremely motivated by the strong demand we've had in Montreal but if you're someone with a bit of patience and people skills, you can still close on a winning deal if you're taking the time to educate the sellers on where the market is now and how the numbers have to make some sense before placing an offer. 

Personally, I reckon you should have been able to get it done without offering a 50% profit split.Deals don't need to be an ONGOING win-win for the Seller, when they've already agreed to a price.Nonetheless, congrats.

If you end up in court, it might be the difference between a win and a loss.Just for clarification, this is the language of the statute regarding the return of security deposit.38-12-103.

With properties that end up at foreclosure, I never say anything is a guarantee and pre-title work can get expensive for multiple properties when you have to bid to win on them, before knowing the initial bid price (which often is too high).

If we have enough support, they will not pass the ban.We cannot let the local government win.

Win Win!!

I love the model and consider it a win/win for all involved.
