Most cities will also have someone down at the office that is aware of what is going on if it is truly boarded up.

It's good for her business to be aware of the market.

I know I need to be REALLY good at finding great deals, but that's all I have right now.I'm aware it's all going to take time, but the longer it takes for me to act, the further down the road my goals will be. 

I find tenants staying 6-8 years on M2M.As to raising rents - - be reasonable - - you don't want to be greedykeep your increases below 10% (a legal limit in some states)be aware, increases invite the tenant to reevaluate your unit to others that are available and may actually trigger a move-out. 

Despite the fact I have a housekeeper and a property manager who regularly are in the unit, I found that there were quite a few things that needed attention that I was never made aware of.

So, the property manager is fully aware.  

That said, my parents did lose a lot of money in the Swiss RE market (although they attribute most of it to Swiss laws being unfavorable to foreign owners).As you are already aware, there's a glut of information on BP for how to invest in the US market.

The owner is most likely aware of the problem and might be willing to bargain to get rid of the headache.

I will defiantly be making theme aware of "CFPB" that's information I would have never known, I was just advising them to a lawyer.

Any other price increases for me to be aware of?
