@Félix LerouxI found the BP books to be of moderate value for Canadians.

Thanks..Note to moderator.

Better cash flow can be found with good properties in several south I-5 communities since they have some moderately declining populations and less diversified economies, and therefore demand a higher risk adjusted return.  

Rental Market and Cash Flow: The rental market for commercial multifamily properties in Mobile, AL remains steady, with rental rates seeing moderate growth in recent years.

I’m probably going to log out of here for a while because I’ve made my assessment based on feedback (1) there are some guys exactly like me out there who know this is messed up, thanks for letting me vent (2) there are many honorable real estate agents saying “that’s awful that he lied, here’s some practical advice” (much appreciated) (3) there’s a handful of shark brokers with a couple decades of experience, thousands of posts, infinite BP resume boosters like podcast guest appearances or moderator status - and most of these guys very clearly have a different ethical standard than myself and seem to live life by a different playbook.

Quote from @Marcus Auerbach: Where are the moderators?

Bill Gulley for Moderator:)

Unfortunately, any decent contractor who actually shows up and does what they say they will do (very rare), is usually very busy, and moderately expensive.

You hope to be able to get some of your moneys worth from the current contractor, but my history tells me this hope usually is not going to be a reality.Nearly 2 years ago I had a major job that had a moderate size abatement issue. 

@Russell Brazil Maybe it isn't what you intended, but I found your reply to the OP to be dismissive which isn't something I expect to see from a moderator.
