Wood quality began dropping on a serious scale in the 1980s due to old-growth timber being almost completely depleted.Most wood used today is grown very fast - not only can you visibly see the difference in quality, but the newer lumber is more prone to rotting due to a lack of heartwood.

Now, let's break that down…- A median single family home is $543,000 (up 2% from last year)- A median townhome is $377,000 (Down 5% from last month so appreciation has slowed down significantly here: https://tmls.stats.10kresearch.com/infoserv/s-v1/IFbq-ZfR)More quick stats:- Homes went for 1% under asking, indicative of a less competitive market typical of fall- ⅓ of homes experienced at least one price drop- Homes sat about 21 days on market- Sellers has 10 showings before going pending- There are about 3,100 homes for sale, which is up 10% over last yearWe continue to see more options to choose from, more flexibility from sellers, and cyclical dips in prices across the board.

When it comes to all the cost and growth assumptions one thing I lack is the experience to understand what to expect... so most long term inputs are educated guesses.

I look at our direct competition and we are still the best value on the lake for the space.

I'd prefer not to go through the eviction process, but their lack of responsiveness leaves me no choice.Thanks in advance for your help!

- or is this process largely manual because of a lack of tools?

Fill in with education what you lack.5.

Brokering is too competitive for you to put up with that crap.I would never sign anything broad, overreaching, or in perpetuity.

One approach could be to reach out to tax professionals in other states with lower costs of living, as they might provide quality services at more competitive rates.

Secondly on a single location policy who is everyone finding to have the most competitive costs?
