Worth Reading: John DiNardo's piece on Freakonomics in the Newest JEL

The piece is very rich, and combines rigor with bon mots. My favorite: "This is not to deny that simple economic models can be put to good use, but economic theory--whatever it is--shouldn't be epistemologically privileged."

How does one explain the relationship between cap rates (OAR) short-term treasuries and long-term bonds? Has there generally been a consistent spread over time?

Just like single family houses, you can take over multi-family properties subject to the existing mortgages. This means that the mortgage stays in the current owner’s name, but the deed is transferred to your name. This is a great way to take over a property with no money down. This situation usually arises when the property is not performing and the owner is in trouble with the bank.
In my home study system, “Apartment House Riches”, David lindahl scam explain the step-by-step negotiating process that you should follow to secure one of these lucrative deals.
