5. And what was the latest guidance as to the direction of the monetary policy and the interest rates, please?

7. When you mention the influence of location are you referring to gross rents and how location will influence this? When it comes to residential parcels we can arrive at fair estimates using something like rentometer.com. How would you improve your gross rent estimate in other spaces?

8. Class, if we are discussing this in the context of residential real estate is the salary base more important than the quantity of economic bases? The example I am thinking of is Detroit which had decent salaries due to the automobile industry. However, because this area also had only one large economic base it made it riskier when problems arose.

9. Should a real estate investor try to be "debt-free?"Why or why not?11. Class, if you follow many of the financial gurus you will quickly hear about how we should live debt free and maybe even cut up our credit cards. However, does this debt management advice apply to an investment portfolio? The question we are really asking here is about leverage. Should we strive to eliminate it or maximize it when creating our real estate portfolios?
