I do not buy in bulk, but do wait for sales. 6 months ago I replaced the appliances in a unit and bought all Whirlpool Stainless.I paid about:$500 Fridge w/ ice maker$500 Oven/Range $200 Microwave$300 DishwasherSo, $1500 total.Recently for Labor Day I purchased the same appliances and paid:$550 Fridge$600 Oven/Range$220 Microwave$300 DishwasherSo $1670 total.

I already have land w infrastructure going in for another venture and thinking about the tiny house rental on it for a temp light cash making but if you search VRBO/AirbNb for comps you’ll see they aren’t heavy cash makers, mostly due to the smaller season.

@Kelly DeWinterI thought we had it bad in NY, until I read some of the posts from you folks doing business in NJ.So, lemme get this straight - if I put up a camera on MY property in plain view, indoors, in a common area, and post a sign that says "area under audio/video camera surveillance" or something similar, and I record one word of audio (or a pair of hearing impaired folks signing in my lobby), I can be arrested?

Thank you Taylor.I visited the property yesterday after running the numbers: To make matters worse, one of the unit's former tenants were heavy indoors smokers, trashed some doors and toilets, and there was a electric line that was 10 ft from the ground.The upsides that I see:1] Long-term tenant in the next unit, Section 82] Close to the universityAny limitations to rent increases regarding Section 8 tenants?

Anybody else buying the dip in car makers/ transportation index because of the new Mexico tariffs?
