Now I have the opportunity to go out to Denver, I'm in Grand Rapids now, but I'm ready to get marketing and I don't know which is going to yield a higher ROI and be more consistent.

Hey all, I have had tenants who were great in their first year, and consistently late in their second year with us.

And I can't even help you, because I don't work on the Cape and Islands.  

The more experience I get the more I realize that it isn't that people are smarter or luckier than me, they just work harder and are more consistent with what they do.

What that would entail would be retail space, industrial and the most popular multi family consisting of 5 or more units.

The key to longevity in this and any other business is to make sure that you are always delivering more value than you are extracting, and value has many different forms ... if you do that consistently for long enough, then you will not need to search for business or deals, because they will find you.
