I'm sandwiched between that and the Pete's Fresh Market at Rockwell and Cermak.

If not, just start fresh. 

(Wolf Tip: A buyer has to have something to distract them from the real issues of the house so freshly paint the first room you enter in the house.)The sheep investor, who may have never visited the property until it was in chaos, dumps the property for whatever they can get and chalks it up to a valuable learning lesson.Be the wolf and not the sheep and you can make these types of properties work.

The only other type of thread that gets shut down (but that Josh did not mention) is a fresh but duplicated "guru" review thread - but in that case the thread is re-directed to the existing discussion so that any particular guru does not have the review broken up into too many different threads (a good thing to consolidate these IMO).

Buy good assets, don't stretch yourself to far and keep reserves.The financial crisis is still fresh in peoples minds so all the doom and gloom people on bp and everywhere think the next one is imminent, and that it will be just as bad.  

I held my breath when Trump said "there will be an eviction fresh".

I am asking, trying to learn, not being fresh. 

Oh, and you know if you are heating the building for them, tenants will keep their windows open in the winter for the fresh air.If you buy from a retiring landlord and/or get inherited tenants, expect to pay the piper eventually in terms of deferred maintenance and/or evictions. 

We bought properties in Elmhurst, Fresh Meadows, Bayside, Rego Park. 

Hi Jeff,That's a great theoretical question, and one I used to ask myself when I was 15 years younger and fresh out of undergrad with "efficient market theory" "optimal capital structure" "modern portfolio theory" "increased returns are correlated with increased risk" and other articles of faith that had been passed off as fact by the professors in the economics department at my very prestigious college.A decade and half later I no longer buy into the idea that markets are efficient - neither stock markets, nor real estate.There is a deep divide between people who buy the theory and those who don't.
