That's why I'm going to remain prudent with frugal spending habits! 

Schools where I am from came up with "suite" style living for all students so rent is inflated to say the least, trust me I know from experience.Any experience and guidance you guys have for start ups and first timers on here would be excellent.Thanks for the support guys!

An article / opinion piece by Sherwood Neiss from Crowdfund Capital Advisors, tells more about this development: http://venturebeat.com/2014/05/08/new-bill-could-finally-fix-crowdfunding-if-the-sausage-stuffers-dont-get-to-it/Despite all the hoopla, I personally remain optimistic.

My brother and I (he is also an investor) partnered one a house one time,,,it didn't take long for us to realize if we were to remain friendly the partnership had to go.....he bought me out and we never mention that house,,,,things go much smoother that wayandy

I just remain quiet and calm on the phone.

I'm not sure why PMI bothers you, I pay cash for everything but my understanding is that once you can get an appraisal showing 20% equity, you get the remaining PMI refunded to you.

In California, under the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, if an old tenant moves out you can charge whatever you want to the new tenant - you are not tied to the rent charged to the old tenant.Or was the owner living in the unit and now remaining as a tenant?

The land will be a particularly difficult one to sell and I want to make sure he remains aggressive at selling it.

When the main Anchor Tenant goes dark, the remaining smaller tenants are going to have a very hard time.You would think with people eating at home more vs restaurants that retail grocery would be "Rolling in the Dough".But with this company, apparently they see the need to "Pear" down.
