There are no "planned" neighborhoods, etc, so comps are (in theory) harder to come by.  

The concept is good as the tenants, in theory, will be less wasteful of water if they pay for the usage themselves.

Once you complete a wholesale deal or two, those buyers will be banging down your door weekly for more.  

If there is one thing I know, it's that I am all about sweat equity and bringing in the most bang for your buck. 

I understand the theory behind how to calculate a CMA but I am not experienced enough to be confident in my own ability, especially when it comes to calculating adjustments and determining an exact value in my market for differences between the subject property and the comps.

I have a theory that the reason why most millionaires in America drive F-150s is because one they can be economical and two because most MIllionaires are created through real estate, otherwise they would all be driving Honda Civics.What are some other reasons people choose to buy the cars they drive?

Instead you take a slightly higher interest rate, which in theory would provide a bit more cash flow and a bit more interest to deduct.

If not, and you're left out of the will, on what basis or theory ought you receive any portion of his estate?

Next time when you tell another tenant "No" he might say " you did it for him" and "Bang!'

Succeeding in REI is not easy, in any market ... if your theory is that you have not been able to succeed because of the market you are in, and if you can somehow find that magical market where it will be much easier and more profitable, then you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
