A coupla thoughts: - Debt on #1 -6 is significantly cheaper than #7 -9. This shows in the numbers. - Haven't implemented tenant insurance at properties #1 , #7 , #8 . That'll add a bit of rev. - Need to push rates more for props near/at full occupancy.

If some of those NOI margin numbers look fat, they are. Why? - Low prop taxes. - Low insurance. - Low marketing spend. -Ultra-lean, highly-effective Ops & Customer Svc team in Latin America. Latest CSR sourced via @Hire_LATAM (of which I am an owner).

Recent deals aren't as fat, but I still have capital to deploy and some big deals in the pipeline. One of which will make the rest of these look like the small fries they are. Stay tuned for details on it.

@SultanofStorage I note that for doing so you also needed 275k of cash to start with. Then everything is refinancing.

@IanPubillones That’s right. We avoided dipping into savings/investments for living expenses.
