I'm so glad you found the post helpful.To answer your question, yes, certain types of homes and markets definitely tend to benefit more from full-service staging.

We have 17 properties and the long term we do on ACH, but frankly, ACH set up at our bank is so cumbersome that I stopped using it for the mid-term market.  

Look at their marketing strategy.

The 1031 exchange rule to defer your tax is two part 1) reinvest all your proceeds and 2) purchase a property (or properties / DSTs/TICs) with an equal or greater market value.  

Experienced managers can help evaluate potential investments by providing insights on rental demand, market rents, tenant preferences, and location-specific factors that affect leasing success.For example, rental properties need to be close to conveniences like major roads, shopping, and schools.

About me, most of my assets are RE but in another market so I would be diversifying in that market.Potential for appreciation is very uncertain: prices have risen a lot locally lately and are as high as they have ever been, and it’s unlikely higher prices would be affordable by locals.

Study the market.

. $2,000 is about the going rate in my market.2.

Just wondering, if buying a lot and building a duplex, triplex, or quad plex is a good option in today's market?

I used a heloc to purchase the first 4 rentals, so $155k of dept is wrapped up In  that until I refinance each property which have already appreciated extremely quickly given the current market.
