So I created some good epic-wow content around that keyword on my website for real estate investors teaching them how to implement real estate marketing the smart way called "How To Guide: Real Estate Marketing That Works in Every State, City or Town" just Google itI'm not ranked yet since I just started this project which will take anywhere from 6monts to a year to get to #1.

Yes indeed.Bruce Norris put out an interview with Harry Dent (with controversial history of predictions), but does bring up the point about China's bubble that should be popping anytime soon.http://www.thenorrisgroup.com/blog/news/harry-dent...I don't think the Chinese are generally over leveraging in the States (mainly paying in cash since banks are still pretty stringent on their underwriting standards), so I think the ones left out will be heavily leveraged investors flipping a home that can't maintain cash flow.Maybe not government intervention, but maybe the Chinese mainland will just have a huge economic slowdown resulting in no more cash flowing in from China. 

One doesn't have to be a mean old coot to implement the contract. 

You just have to figure out a strategy that works best for your situation and implement it. 

Implementation varies among HAs, but there shouldn't be many surprises.

Now, I don't want to lead you astray-- these properties WILL rent at some point, and the management DOES have stringent requirements for the potential tenants-- so I will probably end up with some pretty okay tenants, at which point, the cash flow will quickly turn around, because these two properties DO meet the 2% rule.

The rec property I bought for me then thought "hey, if i can rent this place out I can take the money I get and buy new tools, farm implements, tree stands etc.

TIRE-KICKERS often do not have a specific financial goal or a solid investment strategy or executed business plan they are implementing.

I also understand the flip side saying these properties lead to low property values and high crime, implementing a community improvement district and other incentives such as tax breaks can draw investors to this area.
