Like in the example of buying a quad, living in one, rehabbing the rest, increasing rents for the rehabbed unit, using the GMR for the area to find a new valuation price for the quad, refinancing, buying another unit, waiting for another year, monitoring the GMR and selling the first unit at a high appreciation, using the proceeds towards a 1031 exchange and repeating the process.

Dawn:We have fibre-optic in all of our rental properties and, in many instances (student rentals), it is complementary to the tenant (we use it for our building monitoring).
