It will get tougher as we roll into 2025 to land a good deal in a market with lower rates and triple the buyers.I do agree though apples and oranges from a typical angle if had only been .25% and if the 10 Year was still above 4.25% but it allows for MBS to open margins on primary homes, FHA/Ginne Mae yield are highest of 2024.

One thing we are doing now is we hired someone to do monthly walk throughs of our properties to make sure everything is in order (not just with the cleaners, but also the TV remotes having batteries, the pool table having chalk etc).

You are comparing apples and oranges - i.e. sellers who place their home on the MLS without a traditional agent and those that never put their homes on the market but do a private deal.

They will be a little more expensive that Conventional when compared apples to apples, but would probably be worth it. 

It's apples, oranges, and bananas.

Get multiple quotes and make apples to apples comparisons.

what did they do wrong.. class action is next to impossible in something like this.. only on TV does that work.

We took photos, made videos, and were told that they generally do not pay for electronics like TV's, electronic ice makers, and Air Conditioners since it is hard to prove who did the damage or when it was done.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to provide streaming TV watching options for STR where free local digital channels are not available?
