Things like schools, public transportion, amenities, etc impact market rents, so trying to evaluate market rents on a town, city or state level probably won't generate any actionable information.

But it's still interesting to note that even though economy is doing slightly better, but that is not having an impact on the housing market yet.The housing market depends a lot on the lending situation and until the lending situation is sorted out, the housing market will not recover.

Letting their lives and relationships impact yours is just blood pressure you don't need.

I have had many notes yielding 30% or more and the fluctuating of short term interest rates while having those investments was laughable, of no impact to me.It is simply inappropriate to apply academic thinking and concerns of interest rate risks to any small investor of notes.Putting this in perspective in the real world, interest rate volitility, the movement or interest rates in the economy only effects an investment that has a yield that is close or the same as current market rates.

Negotiations stopped here.I am happy with 20% rev share but am concerned about the impact of 0% ownership...Also, it should be known that MGMT LLC does not have an intention of acquiring ownership in anything moving forward other than the 1% ownership of PROP LLC and the 50% of cashflow from PROP LLC.

Look at the social impact a home makes to anyone and understand that you are part of that, making needs, desires and dreams come true.

They actually do have an impact, as a project needs to have a fairly high percentage of owner occupied units to be "warrantable".

When REO troughs are at capacity, then you will see lower prices in short sales and trustee sales as well as delays in foreclosure commencements.Price fluctuations will also impact discounts as well.

No real impact to that tenant who is now gone.

NO actions that benefit the owners to the detriment of the entity.
