Anna's population continues to grow with a rise in the median income + infrastructure/new businesses.

I also own/operate assets where I am not concerned about a tenant showing up at my front door.

As rents and home prices rise, long-time residents are being squeezed out.Worcester is increasingly becoming a bedroom community for towns like Marlborough, Hudson, Natick, and Framingham, as those areas become more expensive.

What to do or where to go for new policy TBD

I'm under no pressure to do or buy anything so watching the CRE space play out from the sidelines works just fine for me.If that's your definition of a clown, it's time for me to go paint my face! 

I had a friend who house-hacked a duplex and found that while being next-door helped him quickly resolve issues, it was tricky keeping the relationship professional.

Just the low spots around the door?

So much for prices ALWAYS rising.  

You're doing a lot with 5 doors and working.

If I could do things over again, I would likely manage things manually.I could see software being valuable as you increase your number of doors, but for a small number, it doesn't seem worth it if you're reasonably organized.
