If you own small multis or houses then $1000 - $1200 per property would be a double digit increase which again I don’t believe they can do.

They should be the expert.This is what I came in here to say. you have 2 people (you and the PM) reaching out to the internet to digitally vet someone that one of you has actually met.

@Charles Kennedy I have digital deadbolts and a lock box with a key in case something happens like we forget the change the batteries.

Theoretically you could do something passive (say, buy 2 years of a note at double-digit yields) if you know what your deployment schedule could be, but I'm guessing that might seem a bit risky from your GF's perspective...

I've seen TI allowances in the single digits all the way up to around $50/sf.As far as the leases expiring in 1 to 2 years: if the tenants leave, then you'll have to factor in more commissions, TI allowances, and lost rent due to vacancy.

That said, I see so many bandit signs around here while I'm driving 30 miles per hour and think "who the hell can read the ad, let alone the tiny 10 digit phone number?"

I am somewhat bugged at the fact that every time I turn around there is an ebook or course or system or seminar that someone wants to sell.

If interest rates get up into high single digits or higher (they were 15% for conventional owner occupied loans when I graduated from college) I think we will see a lot of loans being called if the lender has any reasonable basis at all.

Most people here expect double digit CoC returns for their time in real estate so that is one viable option.

You might consider "accidentally" typing a wrong digit or two in your phone number to avoid the calls.
