Appreciation – Expected & hoped for but Not Guaranteed 5.Forced Appreciation– You can improve a property and increase it’s value (Fix & Flip) and other improvements 5.Forced Appreciation – NONE – The only way to make Pepsi go up in value that you have control over is to drink more pop 6.

Ive began to reflect on the year, while I haven't posted in a while, the one thing that has kept popping up most of the year, which is....The ungodly amount of phone calls that I receive on a daily basis.

The Area: The town is Palestine Texas pop. 25,000ish the house is located in an older part of town but not in any danger zone.

These threads pop up every once in a while -- a teenager outta nowhere asks about how to get into REI -- and I find them difficult to take seriously, but I've never said anything.

Keep in mind many mom and pop landlords are very hands on.. and have to collect rent in person.. and as stated above it all depends on your location and tenant base.. like west coast tenants by and large you could automate them.. lower end C D tenants no way.

(wiki gave me this little gem, mostly because it was the first thing that popped up when you google it.)

@Neel Jain - It is going to pass for sure and it is going to be bad news for Owner Occupants and Tenants as Prices drop and Rental options disappear as Mom and Pop landlord push a lot more inventory to the market.

When an issue pops up on the tenant side.

Not sure if you're still working on this, but Todd Bukaty with nbkc bank in Kansas City (if you google "Todd Bukaty nbkc" he's the first thing to pop up) was able to help my sister with a refi on their rental property in ATL, and they have very low income.

Having to this made me cringe a little, the original strategy on the project was to BRRRR, but due to some hidden costs that popped up, renting it out no longer looked like a solid return.
