lol, is this meant to imply that the Detroit ghetto is somehow less blighted than the Toledo ghetto?

A good Personal Trainer can help a lot.

A major part is that under 5 unit buildings are not subjected to rent regulations (for the most part).I also FULLY expect as the majority of Voters who are tenants will vote for their self-interest, which implies continuation of rent regulation laws or even enhancement of it.I think a RE Investor that can thread the needle in Rent Controlled Cities can be INCREDIBLY well rewarded.In fact, it's provides a very stable and consistent economic growth.

I've got so many things I want to try on my list, so I'll keep hiring the best coaches & trainers to learn from the best. 

If it is to imply cash flow, then I am not in agreement (I virtually always agree with Russell's post and think he has a knack for great succinct responses).

You're implying that I somehow hid the fact that there is a vacant unit from you.

If not I would refrain from using the word commission depending in what state you live as it might imply that you are acting as a realtor without a license.

This implies the cash flow improves at a quicker rate than markets with lower rent appreciation.  

Being able to do a cash-out refi of $80K on one of your ten properties implies that your $1M purchase is now worth about $2M. 

Account Closed Yeah, with “buyer qualification” docs being due, there is an implied approval/qualification factor.
