This answer to this will just depend on the skill of the person making the investments.It's like workers who have the maximum taken out on taxes so they get money back at the end of the year.They are happy as it's the only way they know to save.The other spectrum is people will have the least amount of taxes taken out as they want to grow that money all year long instead of the interest going to the government.I also agree that how you invest will depend on different stages of your life.In the early stages people are more risky for larger returns possible.Then over time the goal is slow growth to keep up or outpace annual inflation.As you get older wealth creation tends to be less of a goal over wealth preservation.It all comes down to do you want to make 200k a year and put in 50 hours a week or make 140k and put in 30 hrs with plenty of time to enjoy it??

If the credit tenants lease is up for renewal and they leave or want excessive TI demands to stay then your FUTURE NOI will go way down.Once a credit tenant leaves the second or third generational space use for that property will more than likely be at a much lower rent per sq ft basis.If for instance you are looking at a shopping center and asking is based on current leases of 16 to 18sq ft but lease are coming up for renewal.You know lease were signed 4 years ago and that when resigning the tenants will want the prevailing current market rate of 12 sq ft.You will base offer on the 12sq not the 16 to 18 it is currently generating.You could also insert a clause that the tenants have to re-up before purchasing at the same rate.

There are many investors on this site that offer turn key properties that pay in excess of 10%.

Doesn't seem excessive to me.If you have a corp in the US and are paying too much in tax, you aren't very smart.

Right now they are staging a collective breath holding and foot stomping tirade that I would expect of people who are either:1.

Now in the planning stages.

Ah...now you're talking about "staging" a note purchase.

I would highly recommend staging...it certainly works for us...

Maybe this is not my place to say, but considering how much money is being/has been made from networking via this site, I find it very strange that the amount collected via donations is VERY low.I'm still in my learning stages but I fully intend to donate something small from each deal I close....even if its 0.01% of your profits, i'm pretty sure anyone can work that into their budget

They typically rent for a slight premium ($50-$100/month) to empty rentals.I have considered staging my rentals with basic furniture that are geared to students, but I also feel you may have a higher turnover rate.
