Quote from @Treza Edwards: No-my tenants pay that 100%You said your tenant's pay utilities 100%, BUT are any utilities provided by the municipality?

With record low inventory and sales transactions there's no low hanging fruit.In this market we think the best opportunities are value-add (BRRRR'ish), zoning changes allowing density (ADUs), or seller financing deals (buy a lower rate).
