Are you going to get returns which are significantly better than that and do you have a strategy and skill set for achieving it?  

I would think a more nuanced marketing approach where agents compensation is based on achievable results and other factors (e.g., hours committed to representation, achievement goals, discounts for properties based on price for square footage, negotiation of post escrow discounts, credit for seller/agent cooperation, transaction coordination commitment) might be more digestible for a buyer.Should be interesting to see going forward, but I do think in general, agent compensation will be less as things develop.

If this were my unit I would change all of those white switch covers over to switch covers that we're very close to the paneling color so they blend in rather than stand out. 

However, I understand that achieving these goals is a gradual process—one that requires patience, diligence, and a stable foundation.The allure of “financial freedom” and “passive income” often captivates new investors.

Two of the current tenants all use paid for mailboxes, the other unit is vacant.

Then, once the other side of the unit is ready to go, I would use platforms like Airbnb to rent out monthly to traveling healthcare workers, etc.

OP what are you trying to achieve?  

If your debt is student loans at 6-8% interest your best bet is to pay them down/off as fast as possible as most investments will achieve a similar result but that is gross (before taxes) not net.  

It’s a great market for long-term appreciation and growth, but it will be harder to achieve cash flow compared with how the Midland home is structured.

This opportunity aligned perfectly with our investment strategy of acquiring homes with untapped potential, enabling us to achieve a solid return on investment through smart renovations and quick resale.
