Wild stuff.

Just a wild-*** guess?

We have a large multifamily apartment building in an area that attracts the "ladies of the night" and let's just say it hasn't gone so well...

It sounds like you have been wildly successful on your flips I'm sure there are people with money that would take the risk on your flips financially to get the type of returns you're getting. 

. :)  I always hire a stager at my own properties.What does your lady do? 

Police on horseback at pert near every corner etc.. its a wild place.. but when you take a city of what was 2 million and enough housing for 2 million then over the course of a few decades it goes to 800k and whole blocks are full of abandoned homes  its just economic and physical obsolescence to use a Appraisal term.  

Then there are hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, wild fires, tornadoes and so on. 

If five years of horrible wild fires, that have destroyed communities, and exasperated the housing shortage isn't proof then what the heck does it take folks? 

Audit insurance is the Wild West.

Seller financing is the Wild West and in 2 years when the economy stalls and interest rates are still 7 and housing has sunk 15% we will see how some of these “creative financing” deals panned out.
