Rents, especially now with high vacancy rates and lowering rents, are not very attractive in terms of cap rates.

I think it will reach a point where it looks very attractive to some of these big companies manufacturing oversees that want to bring production back to the U.S..Just a thought.

So I have no problem with that, although I wish Google could make their adwords a little bit more attractive to see.BTW, the forum pages seem to be working much faster than before, so that's a good thing.

Understood Bryan, the problem is, selling owner finance, then dumping the note, you will have to sell the note at a decent enough discount to attract a note buyer investor which in essence, could cause a loss.

Certain demographics and price ranges will be attracted to different things.

I read one thread here about how to attract a tenant for a house and lots of people went on and on with all these "multi" suggestions.To me the first question when developing a marketing campaign should be - do I need one :)When renting a house a simple sign will rent most homes.

That is definitely a 30,000 ft view statement since I know nothing about your business, but I talk to a lot of Turnkey investors and not all of them do business with me and I know what is attracting loyalty.

We've seen markets that had great rent-to-value ratios less that a year or two ago become less attractive "second choices" for many of our clients (i.e. large part of Phoenix, Dallas, even Las Vegas).The good news is there are plenty of markets that provide good cash-flow and rates of return.

The mortgage note was simply one way I could pay off this short term debt ...but the 12% is pretty attractive and the payments are pretty solid.

This cost more at startup, but reduces cost over the life of the building, attracts the better tenants in the area ( even in the worse neighborhoods, there are good tenants), reduces turn over and vacancy.
