@Brittany Myrick Welcome to the New England area!

In terms of feedback from our team, we’re leaning towards buttoning down the hatches, keeping rent increases low, and focusing on maximizing occupancy in our New England markets.

Hey Matthew,A lot has changed since you posted this but I also lived in New England and now live in St Pete.

Pro tip--make sure your exhaust fan in the bathroom is vented to the atmosphere--meaning out to the outside.....go out the roof or out the side of the unit or secured to an opening in a soffit vent grille off the house. 

Population and economic growth, strong tourism, proximity to other New England cities.

Quote from @Glen Wiley: I am not a big fan of those rules - I think they are too simplistic.What will your interest rate be?

I'm fine with doing some minor fixes and improvements to a property: Adding overhead lighting/fans, better flooring, maybe redoing a main bathroom.

@Jeremy C.I looked at their (JLL's) website and see that they have a history dating back to 1783 in London England and have offices in DE, MS, DC, & VA.

@Francisco Milan I'm a big fan of buying real estate and doing cost segregation studies.

@Jordan Ray This is spot on and something we run into constantly in the New England markets, where prices have climbed significantly over the past five years.
