Quote from @Elijah Edwards: @Jamie Banks I was approaced by a Relocation Specialist last week to rent out my home.

For example, if the listing is selling for 200% of the last purchase of two years ago with no improvements, etc.?

Teshaw has changed his number 4 times in the last year.....there is a reason for that.

All of which, I’ve purchased within the last 4 years.

Last year he sold most of the SFRs and bought a multi-family.
