I know, but mass ignorance does not change the reality of it any less.     

That's the simple reality of it.

@Manuel A Zuaznabarunderstand it's expensive / high barrier of entry but the midwest comes with issues tooi think it's worth itwhat you don't want to do is buy a random property that looks great and then start sinking tens of thousands into itlike these folkshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...

And, in all reality it can be viewed as a risk, since it is not the "safe" option.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

So reality is, no, added supply will NOT "fix" rents, it will ONLY assure rent's are as "fair" as they can be.     

These phrases conjure visions of an ideal lifestyle, but the reality is far more nuanced.

Full new paint, new flooring (vinyl plank vs carpet), new cabinets, countertops, fixtures, sinks, tubs, lighting, basic rental grade appliances, etc.

Upgrades/repairs include:flooring (tile and carpet, entire house), painting (entire house), complete kitchen renovation with new appliances, cabinets, sink, lightingcomplete bathroom renovationsupgrade/replace ACupgrade/replace existing hot tub  upgrade/replace furniture/bedsupgrade/replace old pier with newadd new kayaks, paddle boards, and bikesI am thinking anything that is removable (furniture, appliances, water toys, bikes, pier, etc) could qualify as an asset for the LLC and thus be used as a tax expense for the LLC.  

This is just the reality of most markets with prices and interest rates where they are.
