People get paid way less than in other markets.Don't compare that a 3/2 middle class area rents for 1600 in SA and the same in LA is 3000.

I have a goal to post at least once a week to get to know you guys as well as make sure I'm consistently learning from people who are smarter than me :)When I started reading and learning about REI I felt pretty strongly about hiring a PM.

If you are sharing your personal space, you have the right to reject people of different races, religions, sex, people with children, etc.

What you are speaking to is a great question and I wish that more people would ask it. 

People need to do their own due diligence.  

Florida has over 1000 people moving in a day, our supply is almost non-existent compared to the past and even condos are giving amazing returns (example: we have a new condo purchased at $270k bringing in $4k a month in short term rental income). 

Chicago real estate is moving quickly and it's honestly no surprise rents are too...with less inventory for sale that also means more people are forced to rent, which in my opinion would drive up the rent.  

I believe you should always take care of your people.

I don't know many people that invest around there (only one guy that does really good with flips).  

For us BP people, we can see the potential in a fresh coat of off-white paint where regular people just see a gross ugly house.
