I'm just wondering what the noise is all about.I'd love to see how this plays out and what are the benefits. 

The noise from upstairs is annoying so next time I'd do more testing of the quality of soundproofing in the ceiling (older home so wasn't as good).

We want to cut through the noise  and bring more transparency and community to the space. 

It is difficult to maintain, it scratches, it warps, it stains, it needs to be cleaned with cleaners made for wood floors, pets tear it up, it transfers noise, it shows wear patterns, etc. 

One of our properties is on the far south side over my UW-Rock, which is my favorite rental spot because it's full of single family and duplex homes, lots of cul-du-sacs that keep traffic noise down, and near the interstate.

I could rattle off 10 off top my head but know there are more.

My landlord was also making noises like he wanted to raise the rent; I had already started taking on all the repairs myself just to keep him from doing so, but I knew it wasn't a long-term solution.I lucked out and sold a piece of land with no utilities.

Forget that noise. 

She said the tenant was basically a perfect tenant for the last 11 years with never a late payment or noise or damage complaint. 

Quote from @Steven DeMarco: Quote from @Mike Dymski: Ignore the prior stuff (it's all noise), calculate expected ROE for the upcoming few years (including appreciation and principal paydown), and compare that to alternative investment options and you'll have your answer on whether to hold or reinvest elsewhere.
