feedback from successful small Multi-Family investors in the Charlotte MSA and Southeast to gain your thoughts, experience, and outlook on the current and future market for this kind of product.First, allow me to define small value-add Multi-family, I speak with a broad brush.. anything legally zoned duplex up to 50 units (I'm excluding Class A-B big MF) To set some context, most of the investors that reach out to me are not from Charlotte, or are not intimately familiar with the market here.

Stains can wear well or not, depending on the quality of the product and how it was applied.We don't pressure wash wood decks, instead, we prefer to use a good hose sprayer and a deck brush.

There are many different investment vehicles that can get you better returns, tax sheltering, and/or more static and consistent payouts. 

Look to limited partnerships in developments, you can have a passive position.I didn't read all the posts so I don't know your level of financial capacity to enter the lending side, but that was much better than swinging a paint brush or cleaning toilets!

We use LVPUnless you want to buy a ton and store it for decades as you use it, you will never find ANY product like this that will stay static in color or design for a LONG time.

I like to use larger variety bottle brush plants which can be left to grow to 10 to 12 ft high bushes or trimmed into trees that get just as high and our evergreen.

I recommend going out and attending some new investors meetups as that's where you'll brush shoulders with either other investors or vendors that can put you in touch with people looking to buy your deals. 

If a professional manager is marketing it through several sources, using dynamic pricing, and has a large number of 5 star reviews, they be able to perform significantly better than someone that is only marketing on Airbnb, using a static price, and has few or no reviews.

You can buy a fantastic brush-on (assuming no sprayer) tub refinishing kit for ~$40 from Sherwin Williams if you want to do it yourself (it is easier than it seems, just make sure you wear the proper mask--stuff is BRUTAL).

Hi All,I am trying to brush up on my leasing agreements and I think I have researched so much that I have overdone it to the point that I am getting even the basic ideas wrong.The following is pertaining to a COMMERCIAL/RETAIL lease:-When there is an Option to Renew Clause in a lease, what additional rights does it give a tenant other than the ability to have first right of refusal when the lease expires?
