Go over financial literacy Help your people understand their benefits and keep up with the changes in their retirement and after-military game.I am by no means a financial planner, I did take the command financial specialist course wayyyyyy back in the dinosaur days, but I would like us as veterans and on active duty to help our younger generations get smarter about investing and ultimately financial independence.

This is more work but you can command a premium.

With this upgrade, you can command higher rents, comparable to those of a standard 2+2 duplex.Increased Rental Income Potential:By purchasing a 2+1 duplex at a lower price and implementing these value-added improvements, you can achieve a rental income comparable to, if not higher than, a standard 2+2 duplex.

If it is, you'll have more demand and can command a higher price for rent or sale.Tax rates - Higher taxes will lead to a lower ROI all else equal and it might be easier to find better deals in a low property tax area.Hope this helps!

Now, all this is amplified of course, but that is really what a blanket law is doing, it is "commandeering" a business by force of law and utilizing it's resources with no compenstation, actions that typically require a very specific set of criteria and are rarely used in the history of this country.Now, it's probably best for your business if you CAN work this out, to do so, but to have it thrust upon you in a "one size fits all" like the ridiculous examples above, that's where the problem lies, and a sad reflection of whom we have elected over the years.

We also add central air to rehabs, as it commands much higher rents.As an aside we are stuck with a MF with 5 units on an olde NG hydronic boiler feed, a 70 gall HW tank & 2 NG dryers & the total NG cost for 2020 was $1700. 

Or it could be that the property actually is not as nice as it looks on Zillow, and thus really won’t command market rents.

You would think a high priced unit would generally command a much higher rent.
