Hi Don,Are you saying that smaller medical offices are gone due to these medical groups being absorbed by larger practices?  

It gives you more control over pricing and quality.Also, try to find properties with a large enough spread to absorb unexpected issues.

The limestone frees up minerals in the ground so the trees can absorb better, and they grow quicker. 

Should easily be absorbed by any rental property owner.  

There are definitely still supply/demand imbalances in quite a few Sunbelt markets at the moment, and the Huntsville area is no exception.Single-family and multifamily new deliveries peaked in Q2 2023, so there’s still a bunch of new inventory waiting to be absorbed—hence the negative rent growth and appreciation some folks are seeing right now.In my view, what’s interesting about places like Decatur and Meridianville is not where they are now, but where they’ll be in a decade.The Huntsville metro area is constrained by mountainous geography to the east (beginning with Monte Sano State Park and beyond), so the natural path of development and progress is west towards Wheeler Lake and north towards Meridianville and Hazel Green.If the Huntsville metro area continues to match the pace of demographic growth it’s seen since the 1990s, these suburbs could, in my humble opinion, look very different down the line. 

That gives you enough room to absorb timing hiccups, tax reassessments, or an insurance premium jump without shutting off distributions overnight.For the building itself, I like to anchor on a third-party property condition assessment and roll it into a 3–5 year capital plan.

Now my business model has shifted to 70/30 rental to for-sale development but only in locations where I can build/renovate without taking any short cuts, absorb any expenditures thrown my way using licensed and insured workers and really let the real estate work for me rather than having to work for my real estate.

It's very difficult to absorb the costs associated with owning sub $100K real estate, particularly when you are exclusively reliant on 3rd parties.

You might need to absorb other expenses like vacancy, capital expenditures, and maintenance for a while.

We are doing this on a transaction currently, but to make things a bit cleaner (and since our TIC partner wishes to exchange with us) we are merging the two TIC entities into one entity (our entity is absorbing his).
