Well there shouldn't be much lack of distressed property after the "mostly peaceful" protests. 

One consideration for markets is where you think Oak Park is going, is it on the rise economically or have the "mostly peaceful protests" put it into a tailspin? 

Along with make sure the battery in the smoke alarm hasn't been removed for a kids toy (I use smoke alarms where the battery is enclosed and cannot be removed).Some tenants complain about these checks, citing they are "invasive" and disturb their peaceful living situation. 

The thought is that with current monthly income levels I would not be able to qualify for as large a loan as I would like (trying to purchase a mutli-family property), so maybe the promise of subsidizing this with monthly payments from reverse mortgage would give banks/lenders a bit more peace of mind to qualify for a larger mortgage?

I've done some research online about the CDC Moratorium on Evictions and understand the federal government has extended the moratorium one more month - to end on July 31st instead of June 30th, 2021.I've also read that the Texas Legislature has basically decided to no longer enforce the federal ban on evictions and that Justice of the Peace courts can NOW proceed with evictions for non payment of rent.

Have your sewers cleaned every other year for peace of mind...cheap insurance!

Plus being across from a hospital sounds good to a nurse but bad to a vacationer seeking peace and quiet....I'd sell and buy a couple of nice quaint places that will appeal to everyone....

I do like the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge that the work has gone through the official permitting process, as this significantly improves the odds that is was done correctly and will not be a problem later.I am wondering if it is a good idea or a bad idea to purchase a property with significant recent unpermitted work if I can get it for enough of a discount to have all the work inspected, fixed if necessary, and perhaps retroactively permitted. 

Do some homework on this in advance for peace of mind.Be prepared to get STR-specific insurance.

Less people problems = more peace.
