I can also allow a tenant to grow with me - just moved a family from a two bedroom to a three bedroom apartment.Personally the only reasons I would choose to invest in multiple markets is a) because I wanted an excuse to go somewhere regularly or b) for economic/geographic diversity.I had the advantage that my home market was good.

Attend events regularly, stay engaged in conversations, and keep learning through books and podcasts.

I just want to hear from regular investors about their experience.   

Let's say there's 3 properties in a 1-mile radius with 5b/3b, but one is a foreclosure and the other 2 are regular conventional sales.If you're doing a comp for your subject (4th) property, do you have to take the foreclosure one into consideration?

They are releasing permits now on a regular basis and things are able to move forward like they should.  

There are still tons of MLS deals getting done regularly. 

And then finally, there is always the option to just claim the regular standard mileage deduction rate of $0.67/mile. 

How do other regular condos perform versus them? 

I fire clients regularly. 

And that's not even taking into account the regular tenant BS.
