Let's be real, if everyone else's happy meals are $2.875, and you're at $2.75, and the food is ready reasonably fast and of high quality, your customers will still be plenty happy, with the price and the service... you absolutely don't need to (& shouldn't) drop to $2.50 and throw service/taste/quality out the window to do well (in fact, you will do worse). 

Thus inflating prices moved faster than time went by and so prolonging rehabbing was rewarded with a 15% higher figure than originally projected.

If you desire some contacts let me know, but of course you are responsible for vetting the risk/reward.  

Risks and rewards of ownership have not transferred before 12/31.This is a good conversation for your CPA after you gain scale. 

Flipping houses is riskier, but the rewards are greater if you do it right.

If anything I expect this would yield more results on the business side considering the current climate, lots of people looking to get out of businesses especially in food service and the like are having to sweeten the deal to a much greater degree these days to attract buyers. 

Turnovers are effort with not much reward.  

If one manages to do this in a premium location the rewards could be much higher.

I find this very frustrating dealing with investors who seem to not understand that the bigger risks they take the higher the reward will be and that right now.....depending on rehab the BUYERS are determining the NEW MARKET VALUE!!!

If you do that consistently you will make progress toward market rent while still rewarding good tenants.
