I am also not in the Robert Kiosaki camp predicting global meltdown for the last 7 years straight! 

I’m always a fan of changing the floors.

And you can always contact me to tell me your experience - Not a big fan, but they can work OK at least on the cash flow side.- Some areas are too expensive for good cash flow.- I would definitely travel to view in person- Getting referred and asking for references (as well as asking the operator questions) is the best way to evaluate- They just make money on the sale and then a standard property management fee (if they manage too; about 10% or so)- Got to do a CMA or cap rate/IRR analysis like any other deal

I'm not a huge fan of Leverage in RE. 

If I do a bathroom and change the fan or move the switch my electrician needs to run a new dedicated GFI from the panel.

I know the RE investor was a fan of Bruce Norris, but I'm not sure about the non RE investor.

But if this is the last affordable complex in the area and the price increase to "market rates" causes them to move much farther away and uproot any connections (like daycare and the like) that they have in the area... well, I'm not a fan of that.Moving on to self storage.

The defrost board comes into play when the temps are really cold and damp the outside unit will start to freeze up and the defrost board will stop the outdoor fan and switch the reversing valve back to cooling mode and bring on the electric heat inside so it doesn’t blow cold air on people inside.

So after graduation 2008 came around and shot hit the fan.

I think it has fallen out of use as a globalized market has allowed companies to offer cheaper low DP loans.
