I set up some key word alerts and I was wondering if they're case sensitive?

If you have sensitive, specific tenant questions or scenarios, post under the BP Pro forum.  

Yes, bankers just like investors talk to each other, they also speak to Realtors, closing agents and anyone else involved in real estate, at least about things like who's who without disclosing personal information or sensitive matters.

I'm not saying don't plan on spending nothing while you are living there, but that those line items for vacancy, repairs and capex are safeguards.

I am just playing devils advocate in this subject .. as I have been through these deals in the 80s I worked for a big syndicator in the bay area.you can have all the indemnifications you want but the investors will revolt and sue you if the deal goes sideways.. you would be very naïve to think the language in the doc YOU prepare is going to save you from litigation.. does not mean the other party is right but you still will get sucked into the vortex and spends thousand if not hundreds of thousands.Case in point... friend of mine when I lived at Silverado in Napa county was and is a syndicator he bought a big high rise commercial building in Houston 10 years ago... well you know what happen with oil. its now a see through .. and they lost it to the bank.. investors revolted and sued him that started 2 years ago.. and its all over the local paper.. so it kills his rep and no doubt he has the same safeguards you mention.. but that simply won't stop litigation.Where I have seen rob peter to pay paul is with syndicator that had multiple partnerships.. borrow from a good partnership reserve account ( PPM said you could) loan to prop up another.. the other still can't make it and is put into BK and liquidated and the other properties are now in jepordy.. this company ( did acquisitions for them as  a broker  great gig made a ton of commish)  had 5,000 investors...

There have been crashes where the rents were affected but generally rent numbers are harder to move then ARV because those are very sensitive numbers.

.), go to top sub-market in those markets, stay in class C/B- because people will always need a place to live, run sensitivity analysis on interest rates, caps, rent rates, etc. to make sure DSCR stays above 1.25 for refinance purposes and Return on Equity meets minimum requirements, and some may say keep hold periods to minimum (grab value and get out).I'm sure there are posts about tech/start-up bubble, but it will be interesting to see how that plays out, and how a bust might affect national economy.As always, keep diversified.

I try to get updates every 2-3 days on deals that are not time sensitive.

Imagine you're an agent who is constantly in the field and for whatever reason has limited or no access to email to expeditiously forward communications and documents back and forth during periods of time-sensitive negotiations, offers, counters, etc.  

I have a pretty sensitive nose, so for me this is the process to eliminate just about any smoke odor:1.
