Did they get divorced and couldn’t afford things, were they young and learning beyond their means and have now realized it and grew up?

He's needs to lower it down to $200 or $250 so that people can afford to get into the real estate game....

There is a saying, " you really can't get hurt jumping out a basement window" :)  I would rather be all in 250k or less (EVERYONE can afford that) vs 500- 750k, much more " risk" especially in today's market.

Last question I have is that what should happen in a situation where tenant asks for upgrades that I cannot afford ?

Better known as poop. youre complaining that your paying occupant, the one who pays you a monthly lease payment so you can buy the suit you’re wearing in your avatar is somehow neglecting their duty as a tenant by not putting papered stained poop in a basket because you can’t afford or don’t want to pay to have the sewer system improved to “American” standards?

Mostly to buy down rate, and make payments more affordable for 1-2-3 years for the buyer–until they can hopefully refi at a better rate and get more cash-flow with their LTR/STR investments.I just accepted an offer on one of my properties today that asked for 3% concessions.

Even if your units are in great condition, most residents won't be able to afford a $200/mo increase in rent. 

I have been very high on the potential of Eugene for continued and rapid investment growth and opportunity for a variety of reasons, and have likened it to a more affordable Boulder..These very well paid athletes and the entire ecosystem built around them..ie: brands, influencers, media, boosters, coaches, alumni, all need to be accommodated.

Work at a bank or hard money firm that makes loans on the types of deals you are interested in.Real estate investing has lots of different facets within it, so getting specific will help you achieve your goals.

More often than not, we get a flipper who does the work themselves, has cash, and can afford to pay more than others.
