After crunching all the numbers and doing all the research, you’re convinced that this property is a good investment.

Although offering stock bonuses has some cash flow advantages, there is a clear psychological benefit.
Imagine you’re a shareholder of XYZ co. You hear that the top 5 executives are being paid 30 million in cash bonuses this year. You’re outraged. How can they pay themselves so much money in an economy like this?

		<description><![CDATA[ 
The property management myth is “It’s better to set the rent low and fill it fast, then set it at a high price and be vacant for longer.” The money you lose from the apartment being empty is more than what you will gain from the higher rent. I hear this myth often. Some managers live [...]]]></description>

Everyone has their own perspective, seeing things a little differently than everybody else. Combine that with the internet and you have something amazing: a collective cloud of ideas.

		<description><![CDATA[Here are three important things you may not think of.

Commercial real estate has long vacancies. Before investing, review the leases thoroughly and the companies backing them. If one fails to pay, it could be empty for a long time.
