I was surprised how effectively cleaning of the walls and ceilings actually did to the smell.

My advice would be to narrow down where you want to buy before you start engaging agents.

I've seen habitual dumpster abusers drive up to our dumpsters, see the newly hung sign, and drive away without dumping....More so than catching the thief, we would rather they not try to steal from us.... of course our methods and no methods are perfect.... but they seem to have been fairly effective....  

Landlords getting paid is just a secondary effect.

I have used direct mail in the past for single-family homes but am not sure if this method is effective for multifamily.Thank you in advance for any guidance you can give!

Do you think being on a major road effects the price?

The SB and AB's that were passed for ADU's were much more effective in creating additional housing, but still just a drop in the bucket for what is needed and the costs to build the ADU's are skyrocketing each month due to labor and materials costs, not to mention material shortages due to supply chain issues which are getting worse, not better (that's across the board for all states, not just CA, but more heavily felt here as Long beach is a HUGE port not currently even close to full operations.)

I would appreciate any tips on using these loans effectively to purchase a property that might want to close quickly. 

And if they are charging 6%, they might be taking other fees that bring the effective rate closer to 8 or 10%. 

Anyways, I am following this Evergrande mess as well but don’t really know how it might effect what we have going on in our markets and or the macroeconomics of the company to the US economy.
