Paint a red border around the garden and post giant "DANGER Keep Out" signs, then have the tenant sign a statement acknowledging they are aware of the potential danger.People can and will sue for just about anything.

Rather, what metrics, what trends in the data, what data points can be combined and/or aggregated have you used to really help you identify an area of a market that's undergoing gentrification, or has data/trends that are displaying a high probability of an area that is about to experience gentrification??

Hi there,  after reading a few posts and going thru one of the books Brandon wrote - I realized that I might be able to find a much better deal by just heading north of the border of IL to WI.   

Local governments in two of the NC counties bordering the Great Smoky Mtn National Park have enacted a indefinite moratorium on STR's including motels/hotels and anything under 30 days not directly related to business travel.  

When the map displays, click the APN layer in the box on the right. 

There is a property that i'm interested in that is located in Cheltenham PA, literally right on the border of Montogomery and Philadelphia Counties.

I don't know where else in the country you get such asset disparity with a high cash flow city like Baltimore close to a high appreciation city like DC which influences the bordering Maryland suburbs which are Montgomery County and PG county.  

I'm a bit biased in my opinion, as my property management company manages Hartford County, CT from Bristol to Vernon up to the MA border.

Even when you do find a value add deal and you go to pull all your original cash out you're so happy but only to realize since you're in such a high priced market and low RV (rent to value) area that you'll now be negative cashflow so its a catch 22 in high priced areas.Barring you use creative strategies, operate a business like short term rental, rental by the room, halfway housing, transitional housing, B&B hotel like model, its tough to make the numbers work in high priced markets.I have helped investors in the 1-4 space coordinate the financials and how they have to display these figures to continually qualify for funds going forward.

I've spoken to a few and was less than impressed, particularly with attitude displayed (I couldn't imagine the position they would take with a tenant).Based on my discussions, it seems the one month rent is taken only if they place the tenant.
