Here in Portlandia our rents stayed firm and eventually rose as well and values dropped .. apartments that sold at 5 caps got up to 7 and 8  they are right back down to 5 now.... etc etc.There is no arguing that those that paid cash and owned assets out right were the one's who can weather any market conditions. lest they lose the asset to non payment of property tax's

I tried contracting with a commercial property management firm for the commercial buildings when we moved to Tucson, but they turned out to be nothing more than glorified check-cashers.

I just recently learned that some of these firms encourage you to raise CC limits to buy their programs and real estate.

I have three months of property experience in an Australian law firm before not being able to continue due to my licence not yet being transferred.Australian property investment is similar to the US, with both systems being considerably different to New Zealand.
