@Mike Dymski it's probably a rash decision to put in  for sale when the newer property goes on the market, Sue's historical Chicago data point above made me think so.The intent of the post was to capture such data points to make an informed decision.It's a small multifamily and people do sell with no tenants for ease of selling hence the NOI argument wasn't convincing.People in my market add bells and whistles to very old multifamily homes and sell them at a premium price and 15 year old home is fairly modern and there will be some apple to apple comparison,add to it an additional in law unit, so a prospective will be more inclined towards newer home or my 15 year old home or it's not possible to draw any conclusion?

I don't expect financial freedom from one property that is the reason I am inclined to start building my portfolio as early as I can.

My husband and I are military and just getting started with real estate investing using the VA loan; we have placed NC as our first preference (we were initially inclined to SD) but for us, SD was just not feasible for our first time.

Then when market turns can see about flipping them if so inclined.  

people, might be inclined to argue that it was cheaper then, but wages were also super low... 

If we can't meet BRRRR criteria, then we are also inclined to flirt with a potential of a turnkey investment or flipping for our first investment (only close to sure-thing would apply) with the market in such speculative form.I was a math major at a small private college in MI and numbers are my thing.

I'd be inclined to just let it go but he is arrogant and has done the same thing to others.I am unfamiliar with small claims courts.

And unsolicited buyer, finance changes that impact you negatively, death of a partner (if you're so inclined :)things like that,

Like here mke is pushing equal housing for low income families so because they want low income families in nicer housing they are more inclined to pay either market value or above.

Been hearing a lot of negative things so far, so I am more inclined to hear those who have success stories in which whatever you wanted to be fixed, they came through.
