American homeowners could see a significant drop in the cost of selling their homes after a real estate trade group agreed to a landmark deal that will eliminate a bedrock of the industry, the 6 percent sales commission.The National Association of Realtors, a powerful organization that has set the guidelines for home sales for decades, has agreed to settle a series of lawsuits by paying $418 million in damages and by eliminating its rules on commissions.

It is still too early to see the full extent of this damage, but I have a feeling there will be much more pain in the crypto industry in the near-term. 

(Ok, maybe people with bad credit who don’t care if you send them to collections or if they damage your property, because they don’t have anything.) 

Your margins are going to have to be tight or be willing to take on extreme projects (fire damage, etc.). 

There are a lot of very specific things you can do like target people who've been forced to relocate due to damage to their homes. 

These types of properties tend to receive more damage so in the event that durable products and methods are still not enough these properties need to be easy to fix and turn.

I had to do some serious damage control, smoothing things over and assuring them that I had their backs.

what if you buy something, and the HVAC goes in month 1, and there's a storm that damages the roof in month 6? 

And, ironically, it seems that Acapulco has undergone a renaissance with Mexican tourism.On January 16, 2017, 5 people, including foreigners died in an exchange of gunfire at the Blue Parrot nightclub during a music festival as a collateral damage of a fight between drug dealers.

Trying to manage this yourself is basically an open invitation for pretty big problems (e.g. break-ins/vandalism, frozen pipes/water damage, etc.) -- failing to hire a property manager in an effort to save some $$$ when you're not local AND you're not intimately familiar with the market is almost always a penny-wise, pound-foolish move.
