Using the appropriate amount of lights and mirrors is a pretty low-cost way to really make the space feel custom.Unique tile installation patterns such as vertical stacked or herringbone.

My low months were 50-65% occupancy and 100% for summer.

We are in a constricted market cycle, low volume, strained budgets, high costs.

Everyone has been spoiled by the last 10+ years of low property values with high rents and low interest rates.- Just ask any investor doing deals prior to 2008 Real Estate Crash!

I kept the rent low because the tenant was there for a long time. 

I've run into some issues where clients get a little anxious over a valuation that came in low or a condition comes up that is fairly minor. 

Both of these allow you to low down payment loans to buy a primary residence with fixed interest rates.

They said that was too low for them, so I offered $175,000 and they accepted. 

If he must attempt to get the low interest rates of 2021 on this deal, I suggest that he instead look for assumable loans.

This vary heavily town to town. 20% down is great if buying strictly as investment but if you have a way of owner occupying I would explore that route and apply the 20% down to increasing value of property and instead using low money down loan.
