People don’t want the truth- these areas are suppressed for a reason.

But because we have been suppressed on property values for a long time, we are an appreciation market, too (just at a slower pace than the cashflow).

One of reasons I think you are seeing even large apartment complexes built as a bunch of small multi is because the fire suppression system is getting significantly higher so by building less population dense buildings you can circumvent a significant cost.

@Brandon Sturgill More people continue to get scammed when you suppress the truth.

With this new Administration, we have current Inflation at greater than 5% and that will last as long as they suppress our Energy Production etc.

If the building is older major items that might need repair or replacement is the roof, HVAC systems, outdoor lighting, back flow devices, private hydrants, any fire suppressions systems like sprinklers/risers, parking lot, marque signs, awnings/canopy/overhangs. 

Does have fire suppression system for restaurant space. 

As stated in a previous post there already is a shortage of primary care Drs. and when Obamacare gets fully implemented with the suppression of Drs. ability to make decisions about patient care because of government panel oversight the independent minded people who go into medicine will not do so because they don't want to spend their youth in school and residency, come out with $200,000+ in debt and then be told how to do their job by the gov't.

It is not the Dems engaging in voter suppression.  

And you in the peanut gallery- I know, there are interest-only mortgages, but most investors don't use them.)So in summary, and apologies for the extremely long post, I just got rolling and couldn't help myself, real estate enhances the best in investors by inhibiting panic selling during kerfuffles of one sort or another, and suppresses the worst in us, which is our unwillingness to save money on a regular basis.
