I spoke to some other owners and they have been seeing similar patterns.

They spend about every other weekend at the house now year round, so they are familiar with the weather patterns and comfortable enough being there then. 

I do see the bad pattern of behavior HELOC after HELOC and credit cards galore for shopping from the old days.

Because you'll be living in the property, you'll be able to quickly identify and respond to maintenance tasks/repairs (plus, living at the property will teach you about the property's various quirks and patterns that will help you manage it more effectively in the future when you move out...experts know that properties are almost like living entities, in the sense that they have patterns of problems, decay, etc.

It was a classic old 2 story home with amazing patterned plaster walls & medallions on the ceilings.

Hello,We are looking for an alternative to the standard wood or tile patterned linoleum and glue-down vinyl tile that are so common today.Looking for patterns that are different from what is so commonly sold today.Ideally in a glue down vinyl tile.Any source recommendations would be appreciated!

How can I make sense of a pattern like this (who's house was sold multiple times over the course of these years for increasing prices):Tax year: 2018 - Total Value: $72,700Tax year: 2017 - Total Value: $99,600Tax year: 2016 - Total Value: $99,600Tax year: 2015 - Total Value: $99,600Tax year: 2014 - Total Value: $101,600Tax year: 2013 - Total Value: $101,600Tax year: 2012 - Total Value: $101,600Tax year: 2011 - Total Value: $119,600Tax year: 2010 - Total Value: $119,600Tax year: 2009 - Total Value: $119,600Tax year: 2008 - Total Value: $134,400Tax year: 2007 - Total Value: $134,400Tax year: 2006 - Total Value: $134,400Tax year: 2005 - Total Value: $121,500Tax year: 2004 - Total Value: $121,500Tax year: 2003 - Total Value: $121,500Tax year: 2002 - Total Value: $113,000Tax year: 2001 - Total Value: $113,000Tax year: 2000 - Total Value: $113,000Tax year: 1999 - Total Value: $99,600Tax year: 1998 - Total Value: $99,600Tax year: 1997 - Total Value: $99,600Tax year: 1996 - Total Value: $92,200

But there's other initial time expenditures such as getting the listing up and running, etc.After that, you'll have a little bit of a learning curve while you figure out the most efficient ways to communicate with the guests, but once you hit a pattern with that, there are tools you can begin using to automate the repetitive parts (and after awhile, a lot of it gets repetitive!).  

In addition (as shown on the chart below) competition levels continued to boost prices, albeit, at a much slower pace than pre-2003.Sale Price vs DOM:Q2 of 2019 continues the pattern we've seen for the past 3 years, which is accelerated growth.

Once is forgivable, twice is questionsable, three times is a pattern.
