The Unilin 2g locking system is one of the most efficient ones on the market.I 100% agree the the subfloor/ underlayment/ substrate being attached to as well as how  it was attached to the builder floor(naturally we're not talking cement) is usually the problem in a failed installation. 

Some plumbers refuse to install the cheap water heaters, so they will naturally cost more.

Not necessarily a deal killer IMOAlthough it's against nature, the tree can be removed, the roots poisoned and there should be no damage to the foundation long term.Just my opinion 👍

On the other hand, natural hardwood floors are beautiful!

These properties do it through design, unique nature of property, and the "natural pools" available on the property.  

This is the nature of the business, you are not doing anything wrong from what I am seeing.

Some areas are getting hit hard with natural disasters, and their insurance premiums are sky high!!! 

They are attracted by nature, affordability and bang for the buck.

For my clients buying this as a vacation rental, even if they got coverage and could rebuild after a fire, the value of the short-term rental in Colorado would be ruined b/c no one wants to visit a scorched mountainside.If you're an agent like me working with STR/second-home buyers, or your just buying yourself, navigating the wildfire risks and other natural-disaster risks of a home are now part of the transaction.

The reason this is very dangerous is because not only does it impact your cash flow, but it also impacts your ability to exit as pricing is typically based off of the NOI approach.2) Natural Appreciation: Currently there is some healthy appreciation in the market, however, is that going to continue at today's rate for the next three years?
