I especially appreciate your and others’ assurance around this being the worst time of the year to find a tenant and not to sweat the slow movement too much.

I don't have much experience with other platforms but I can assure you RentRedi sets the bar pretty high. 

I don't go to any of these events personally its seems like its a circuit and you have basically all the same players on stage as experts I don't know how much anyone can get out of these events ( i have spoke at many in years past so i know you can only gloss over stuff).

The most recent job fair featured over 20,000 open positions.In ConclusionWhile nothing is guaranteed, the combination of population growth and limited land for expansion virtually assures that prices and rents will continue to increase.Thanks for reading my post.

@Felicia Richardson I can assure you those lenders will not lend 80% LTC on unimproved land.

Hi @John Daniels - the mortgage company I work for, Assurance Financial, is based out of Baton Rouge and we have offices throughout Louisiana.

How cool.Well, It's because I was seen as a player, a closer (meaning I close on deals I put under contract).I said, "I didn't know you owned a building" and to that he said "yes, it's the building with two - first floor retail spaces and 9 apartments on the corner".Dang, just what I love.

The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

Some who are major players doing big stuff.

I can also tell you that our early buyers are back for more properties, and in some cases, significantly more properties as they have had success with their prior acquisitions, but this program, as with any other investment opportunity will not be for everyone.As far as a "get rich quick" scheme, I assure you that preREO is not that and has never been promoted as a quick way to riches.
