I'm looking into installing artificial grass for the backyard to minimize landscaping and for aesthetics.

If you purchased from a senior citizen who was using the senior property tax freeze, their taxes may have been artificially lower because of the freeze. 

Populations and economies big enough to support a healthy rei climate, but small enough so that values are not artificially driven up too fast.

So they'll artificially create an investment that seems to work, only for you to end up with a poorly constructed home with finishes that don't attract the best tenants leading to higher vacancy and repair costs.

What I have found to be helpful is to artificially lower your nightly rate that shows up on the map view.I had a Wednesday free and I have a 2 night minimum.

@Kevin Ferguson, the reason why getting rental comps from agents might be a conflict of interest is because the real estate agent's primary goal (in general and depending on who you're dealing with) is to sell the property and if not careful with your choice of agent, the agent may comp using aggressive rental numbers to paint the property in a "better" light which may artificially bloat the subject property's true income generating power.You need to make sure your agent has YOUR best interest in mind at all times; a long-term mutually beneficial business relationship rather than the agent who jumps from deal to deal.

Villy, I see your point about artificially driving up our income.

Those hurricanes and grenades were so artificially delicious

It artificially lowers the payment for the homebuyer so that they can afford a higher purchase price.

I don't see rates coming down soon as they were artificially set anyway.
