I have questions: was the padsplit net income worth the time management and effort?

More we discuss this, more we are convinced that its not worth the efforts and risks to get the smaller property right now and just focus on the timeline for the bigger house and subsequently rent out our current property. 

All of these effort resulted in only 3 returned phone calls, 2 estimates, and 1 who was willing and able to do the repairs in the time window we required.

As a solo operator I soon ran into the problem of having too many properties to pursue at a time.....like 100's of them and I figured out that I needed to prioritize my efforts in some way. 

You put the time and effort in to learn and be open to all types of deals and it worked!

I am generally reluctant to sell a property, they have all taken some effort to get decent returns and why give that up unless it is going to be a dog moving forward.All the best! 

So we dropped rate to Zero and printed 27% of M2 global US money supply in a few months, more money than made in prior 200 years.

For older demographics, consider the availability of medical centers, entertainment, and restaurants.Buildings/Permits: Assess the city's growth compared to previous years.Determine if the city can accommodate future supply.Government Regulations: Examine the city's efforts and the type of businesses they are targeting.

Also a housing shortage for local workers so there are efforts to create more long term rentals.

If you are investing the same amount of money and they are in the location you are investing in, that's a recipe for inequality of effort.
