This whole system of sign your name and wait in room 1 is ridiculous!

If you can get anywhere near those ridiculous property prices imagine how many producing doors you could buy.

I guess I will no longer give on information about this area.That's ridiculous, I just saw those posts a little while ago which were links to articles about the Beltline which I found interesting, they were not advertising in any way.

If he's in the 50% tax bracket (including ridiculously high NYC and NY State taxes) I am suprised he does not employ a tax advisor.

It is true, investors from all over are picking up properties left and right at ridiculous deals, mainly because they understand the market and know that working with real estate essentially means, "first come, first serve."

Besides, most of those guys that have the ridiculous ARVs and shady deals dont last long and dont realize the couple of bucks they might profit off of someone isnt worth it- morally or for there business reputation.

That's how you keep prices down, not by putting a gun on landlords headsLandlord would suffer either way but at least prices would be back to fair value and there would be no housing shortage; there wouldn't be ridiculous artificial bubbles like in LA where land is extremely abundant and prices totally disconnected from reality .

Many will sign a lease without reading it properly and end up paying all sorts of ridiculous fees, $75 chimney cleaning fee although they never used the fireplace, $150 carpet cleaning fee for ancient old carpet, etc.    

This is my neck of the woods and price vs. return is ridiculous right now on rental property.
