The nearby suburbs will likely experience a slower (but still notable) rise in prices, while the farther out suburbs less so, etc.This isn't an atypical pattern for any fiscally healthy metro, but it's especially pronounced considering DC is its own non-state territory and the city's boundaries are immovably constricted.

Or a tile pattern that's too busy and would be difficult to repair/replace.Spend some money on the appliances, but don't go for the wine chiller in a beer neighborhood.Make it clean and simple (think architecture magazines), make it work, and move the real estate. 

Do you have the pattern down so well you can do even ONE a week?

Something doesn't add up...I never let any tenants pay multiple months rent up front until they are well established and demonstrated a pattern of paying each month on time. 

Any action a platform takes to advertise their track record runs afoul of this fact pattern and subjects them to risk of enforcement action.  

Guess what happens to that listing agent's local reputation if he makes a pattern of this? 

@Jacob Marble This does not sound like a cash-out deal.  

I'm only licensed in Illinois, and if this were an Illinois case, I would suggest the landlord holds ALL the cards in this fact pattern.  

PM doesn't mind, though, because they pocket another kick back under the table ...Poor tenant screening/selection, which causes increase in late payments (for which PM collects a late fee for themselves), evictions (for which PM collects a fee for), extra repairs (for which the PM gets kickbacks for), greater and more frequent turnover (for which the PM gets an extra fee for) and vacancy ... seeing a pattern here?

I predict half, or more, of these people are going to be shook out of the market, but in the meantime I have to sit in a holding pattern and wait for them to either be foreclosed on or sell at a loss.
