Hopefully your local market is growing - population and jobs increasing.

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.

After  3.5 years we have permits for a 17 unit redevelopment project.We had hopes that we would break ground within a year of buying the property....that fell by the wayside for 2 reasons:1) we had worked with the city to increase density through an affordable housing scheme that did not go as planned.

Residential: Turned 3 units with tenants moving out at lease expiration and increasing rent to market ($2,850/month).

I've been keeping my eye on San Antonio a bit as it seems it's going through a correction and potential for cash flow may be increasing.

The rents go up consistently every year which is very important for appreciation and increasing cashflow over time. 

I finally sold it for a small fraction of what I paid for it, but I was out from under the HOA fees and taxes which at about $1,700. per year, which is a sizeable sum for me, and as we know, these fees increase every year.Bottom line is, DO NOT purchase property there for an investment. 

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

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.

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