The hard times seem to make me laugh after the initial anger and cursing phase LOL, but you have to love them because they leave you with a great story to tell. 

Even if you are believer in "training" tenants (a phrase and mode of thinking I personally find incredibly offensive when applied to adult citizens, rather than children or pets), recognize that this tenant is past the "training" stage, as she will soon be past the "tenant" phase!  

Then you can branch out to other things.Hope that helps, I've just seen too many people get caught up in the "learn everything phase" and never make it out! 

There are 4 basic phases to seller financing, origination, underwriting, legal/compliance and servicing, no book exists on the face of the earth that teaches all of these aspects in depth to any professional standard.

If they are career tenants working the system, they won't be phased.

I can help them in all phases of this analysis which is part of my added value.

For environmental  concerns, it is recommended to get a phase 1 which in itself can run 1500 plus dollars to determine if the property has any environmental issues.

A few specific points that I've heard are:Many markets are far into the Expansion stage with Hypersupply being the next phase of the cycleCAP rates are compressingGreat deals are harder to come byMany deals selling for more than the NOI warrants or at lower CAP ratesModerate to high new construction in many areasMany investors going outside of their normal markets to find opportunitiesInterest rate hikes on the horizonWhat are your thoughts on the current state of the apartment market?

I love being hands on during the listing phase.

They redid the entire house with laminate, so I feel it’s a fraudulent act to over-advertise despite what the tax record says.Homeowners who are not investors obviously use price/sq ft as a pricing standard, and I feel that the comps used to justify prices were used against my favor in the negotiation phase.
