Our supply of homes for sale on the MLS has been steadily increasing for several months, so I don't anticipate that price will start to increase until later in the winter.Right now is a great time to buy, with less competition it's a lot easier to get seller concessions to cover closing costs and interest rate buy downs.

Instead of buying trips or hotels for ordinary point values, learn how to increase the value of your points and stretch your dollar farther.It's an inexpensive e-book.

If the location is an A but the tenant paying higher rent was a B or a C then replacing the location with an A tenant at slightly less rent in some cases you can actually increase the value.Example if you had an (A) location QSR but tenant was Burger King franchisee and they went out the Burger King might sell at 7 cap.

For MTR, the best way to increase nightly revenue is to charge for pets!

I figure as the area is growing and there are more people moving to the area it will increase the values.

But like most markets, it's getting increasingly difficult.Plucking something from the MLS is tough because there's not a ton of inventory.

You can overcome this by putting more down, which reduces you ROE and COC return, but if the appreciation is good enough you can make up for this with overall returns over time as rents increase and the property appreciates.

There might be Some exceptions such as you did a bunch of repairs/improvements which increased the value of your home .

It just perpetuates the cycle of insurance and cost of living increases here in Florida.

I would love to keep it as a rental but at this time I think it would take too long for the rent values to increase enough to make sense Worst case scenario is I have to hold the home for an extended period if the market decreases short term.
