Manpower, muscle!

If you have a good product and provide good service, you'll appeal to the masses and then you'll have a much higher quality tenant base.

I am trying to refi my property so I could purchase another one so I was wondering if any is having the same problem with low value. The appraiser in the area is taking the lowest property to do comparison. Let me kno...

It just blows my mind the mass delusion going on in the US with people nowadays.

On the flip side, mass transit can help with the car issue and water/sewer upgrades can help with the utility usage.As far as single family versus multifamily, usually multifamily is taxed higher.

We all have a Myrtle Beach address, and most of us work in Myrtle Beach, but because we're not technically within city limits this giant mass of residents isn't factored into any of the Myrtle Beach demographics like crime rates, etc.  

I am one of the very few STR's in a town surrounded by 10+ wedding venues, university, businesses, mass construction, etc.

These include falsely claiming to have closed dozens of deals when none were ever closed, illegal payment of undisclosed sales commissions to bundlers and independent contractors, advertising the funds as safe and appropriate to investors with obvious near-term needs for their capital, creating fund of funds en masse assembly line fashion with no corresponding SEC filings, unregistered brokers/financial advisors acting in that capacity absent licensure, having customers wire money claim the fund is fully subscribed and putting them into a high yield promissory note, accepting funds from unaccredited investors, misrepresentations about the debt put on the project, lies about experience level of the principals, omissions of material facts, and at least two straight up Ponzi schemes.While it's true that some legitimate operators are having issues in their portfolios, today's circumstances are a perfect example of the idiom, "you can only discover who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."

In fact, in my pre-licensing course in Mass, the instructor said that if we were ever in a setting with other agents, like a gathering at a bar, and someone said something like "you know, we should all agree to a minimum of Z%" that we were to loudly and publicly excuse ourselves.Business brokering is so much more fun - and we charge a lot more commission too!

But as I have said before your  sand box is pretty cool and very hard to duplicate in most of the US.. but then again you play the hand your dealt and the money is made in real estate when you understand the very technical type transactions.. where the mass's just think of vanilla sales ..
