Let's hear some of the interesting locations that you've closed properties from.I'll kick it off...I've closed most of my properties from a small town in Northern British Columbia.  

It's best to consult you State Historic Preservation Office as well as your local city council regarding your specific project.

I agree with the advice here that a letter should be sent to the police and copied to the mayor/city council altering them to the mishandling and future threat.

And most important, Chinese people love to OWN property, renting feels poor and you get bossed around by your landlord all the time, and landlord never wants to spend a dime on upkeep of the property.Many friends of mine including Chinese and British ppl warned me about entering the US market because Americans love to SUE and the tenants rights are protected etc..

Soon enough, I was getting blueprints approved by city officials, going to city council planning commissions and meeting with engineers.

They require a commercial fire department inspection, health department inspection, property survey, change in zoning application, and an appearance at the planning Commission and a city council hearing.

Maybe a little on the Class A multi family properties, but if you are in the $1,200-1,700 price point on a duplex or SFH, I think you will find a healthy and consistent number of perspective tenants.Look, I agree the massive run in Dallas price appreciation is getting late in the tooth, but I don't see it dropping 20%, too many people are moving to the area every year.And, don't forget Dallas is a finalist for Amazon, and the city council just had a closed door meeting that some speculate was about Amazon. 

Real estate has been good to me all these years but yes there is much more to life than worrying about cash flow and rentals tenants and stuff.. keep your perspective.We live in the Jet age for 750 bucks you can be around the world in 15 to 16 hours.. all these people that get so focused on being retired or living on their rentals AS soon as they can to me they miss many of the pleasures of a rounded life.. hopefully if they do achieve their dreams they will stop and smell the roses.I had one guy on BP write me a private message one time and said I post to much and I just not have a life.my reply well maybe so from his perspective but in the last year I have been to  Isreal  Thailand Hawaii 2 times London  British Columbia to fly fish and about 12 other locations in the US ( those are primarily business) so don't let the peanut Gallery here on BP bug you !!!

It costs some real money to put a team of advisers together, university administrators, teachers in specialty areas of business, legal council, a CPA, special software built for educational development, technical support and (thousands of) hours of coordination and management as well as content development before the doors are opened.
