Hi Isadore,I am a Real Estate agent and an investor in the City of Poughkeepsie.

I know I speak for the group in thanking him for the extended time and sharing his insights on the various markets and current conditions of a few select markets that were inquired about.  

However, landlords must ensure that their late fee provisions are "reasonable" and do not violate the state's usury laws, which prohibit excessive interest rates and charges.Under Maryland law, commercial landlords are required to give tenants at least 45 days' notice before increasing rent or changing other lease terms, including late fees.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

I'd recommend working with a trusted real estate agent who has experience with out-of-state or international buyers, along with a reliable property manager to oversee your investment.

I'm keeping a list of all the real estate books I need to read in the future and I want to be able to own some commercial real estate properties (large or small) someday too.

In March of 2017, I closed my first real estate wholesale deal.

Real estate investments can be great so hopefully you can apply what you've learned here so that if you decide to try it again you'll get a better outcome.I think what may have went wrong here is you invested in real estate at the wrong time, and with the wrong operator (syndicator), and perhaps didn't have the expertise to sort either of those two factors out.  

From 6 years of being in real estate, I’m far from an expert, but the three regrets I hear the most are:1) I wish I started sooner2) I wish I bought more3) I wish I never soldMy takeaways from these stories are1) Start today2) Buy Smart3) Think long-term

Just wondering what companies y'all are using, and how are VAs helping your business.Thanks for taking the time to respondGino
