I am currently going through the process of closing on my first multifamily deal.

Are you trying to deter theft, vandalism, other crimes?

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

You may be shocked to find just how NOT all that "up north" we are in comparison to other major cities/markets that are even further up north.

Unfortunately @Gloria C. this happened to you. 

For example, it would have taken me a long time to find all the charts in this article.

I have sec 8 tenants and agree with a lot of what you say but bottom line sec 8 is awesome if your property is in a bad area where its hard to find tenants that pay otherwise, if its in a good are it is MUCH more profitible and less risk/headache to have market rate tenants.

The first commercial option was sold to someone else and we are in escrow for the condo one but ready to fold that deal due to several reasons that have made us lose faith that this is a good investment.

If you can't close deals face to face, you probably won't be able to close deals over the phone.

Is that off base?
