New Tractor Sales Are Declining

What is the make and model. I can tell you for sure. Usually, a drummer don't know squat but you already know that. In reality there are a very select few that are corn or alternative bio mass fuel capable. Harman has a few and so Does US Stove. The others are only wood pellet capable. Most of the older ones like Amaze-a-Blaze are and so are the stand alone boilers.

I should start a thread about what and how people on here heat with (if they do heat that is).

Better post it on Front Porch. It might survive a few days that way.

OnTBN there are actually people that get paid to heat their homed.

Just a thought Richard, nothing more. If I want to discuss biomass heat I do it on the Firewood Hoarders Forum or Hearth.com, not here.

If us landlords fall too far behind on inflation/rent increases and the current tenant doesn't want to pay then we find new tenants that will pay.

Or get foreclosed on.

Are there people on there that get paid to heat their homes?

Huh? How does that happen?

This same thing happens in real estate. If us landlords fall too far behind on inflation/rent increases and the current tenant doesn't want to pay then we find new tenants that will pay.

Ideally, but with rent increases limited to 1/2 consumer price index it’s a long spiral down…

Only saving grace is no restriction if tenant voluntarily vacates on new starting rent…

I'm a commercial landlord Ultra, sorry I probably should have stated that.

They most certainly go down.
When there are layoffs in a downturn, the new re-hires start at a lower salary when things pick up again.
Wages haven't increased that much in this cycle compared to the massive corporate profit increases that ran up the inflation.

He's not talking about the wages of an individual, or even a particular industry.

Median and average annual wages in the US have only dipped a few times since the 1930s. That is not the same as "real" wages which are adjusted for inflation.

Corporate profits are a symptom of inflation, not a cause. Inflation makes the numbers bigger, hence more 'profit'. Money Supply accounts for most inflation. The other big cause is artificial wage increases (those not tied to corresponding increases in productivity). When we got off the gold standard and allowed governments to simply print more money whenever they wished, inflation became a persistent issue in the world. Prior to that, you would see periods of inflation alternating with periods of deflation which tended to keep wages and prices consistent over the long-term. Of course, it made for a bit more of a rollercoaster ride. Deflation can be a big problem, too.

Their systems are so efficient they virtually make money using them. Or so they'll claim.

Triple Net commercial is the only way to go... Business to Business avoids many pitfalls...

I love my commercial investments and even more that my brother handles these... I am point of contact for legacy residential and the shift during my tenure with all regulations and responsibilities is why I 1031 to commercial.
