We do rent projections based on no less than 10 years and this makes the rental business exciting and fun.Don't think you can see inside tenants' heads so you can determine factors related to increasing profits.I don't disagree with you, however, there are a couple of factors that are more subjective than objective:1- is it possible that your rent increase that caused more frequent vacancies?

People like loan officers, brokers, agents, appraisers, closing agents, title examiners, attorneys, surveyors, inspectors, etc all know each other or of each other....or it's only a phone call away to find someone who does know them.

In all due respect I disagree with your below quote.Quote : Definitely agree with you on earning the commission provided the agent finds me a deal does all the analysis and etc.

I disagree with your numbers. 

You just need to follow those rules as well.As for stealing equity from a homeowner when they don't know the value of their house, I couldn't disagree more. 

Here's a pretty good rule of thumb to go by:If you agree with the appraisal and it benefits you the appraisal is pretty accurate.If you disagree with the appraisal and it does not benefit you, the appraiser is wrong and an idiot and the appraisal is garbage.

Circuit breakers will protect the wire to prevent overload, so other posters who say it is easy to overload wires, I would disagree.

Have to disagree with you James, equity does have a return.

Not disagreeing with anyone but to me it seems markets make new highs or they get obsolete.. like Detroit or Rochestor or Buffalo where I suspect prices peaked in the 80s and 90s and have been in steady decline every since.. ?????
