Home prices have been going up for 10 years, so quality stuff is not cheap.

This affordability can make it an attractive location for renters, particularly for those seeking a balance between quality of life and cost. 

I've shifted my focus from textbooks to spending quality time with my dad, who hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm aiming to build up some savings through investments.Now, I don't have a car, but I have a friend who works nights and has kindly offered to give me rides anywhere between 3am and 4pm.

I was just thinking about if I’m older and it hurts to lift stuff, and I’m using my bike to be mobile, that you’re unreasonably hurting my quality of life for almost no reason.

Hello everyone,   Having recently moved here from Memphis, TN, I've been immersing myself in understanding the local market dynamics and am eager to connect with all of you.I'm particularly interested in discussing is the varying levels of rehab quality we see across different neighborhoods.

You get better quality tenants since they've put some significant downpayment.

The proper way to approach this appraisal problem is (summarized below):* find reasonably similar comps - find relatively recent duplex sales in the Subject's market area and adjust for differences, based on market response (i.e. how much more/less buyers would typically pay for certain characteristics like size of units and lot, location, quality/condition, etc).* In the absence of similar comps - go back in time to find any similar comps, no matter how long ago and adjust for market trend differences (appreciation, etc), as well as other adjustments as typical (size, bed/bath, condition/quality, location, etc).* Go to nearby market areas/neighborhoods and find reasonably similar duplex sales and adjust for market area/neighborhood differences as required - along with the other adjustments.* Find reasonable 3 or 4 unit (not more than 4, and they can use sfr's, but those are typically not as good for comparison.

Also, I am sure there are many quality property managers out there, but unfortunately the pickling were slim in my particular sub market.

In general, I would say it’s not worth joining, is a huge waste of money, and is overall extremely poor quality.

Raise your screening standards but allow pets and you should end up with better-quality renters that pay more and stay longer.
