Most components like a roof have a predictable life span.

However, if you come across as very professional and follow up during work hours in a predictable way, you will make yourself a desirable person to work with.

I have been wholesaling in WA and would like to start wholesaling in the FL market as well (due to Zillow prediction that FL markets will continue to appreciate while my current market will not).

Just like in Providence, they discuss it as a homestead exemption (discount) for homeowners, but I predict that, like in Providence, it will end up being an excuse to really raise the taxes on landlords.See Woonsocket council creates new requirements for homestead exemption and New Woonsocket Homeowners to apply for Homestead Tax Exemption by January 31, 2018.I don't think it would affect you if you chose to live in the property @Raymond Hill but it is something to keep in mind, and I don't think it's a great move for the city in the long run, especially one so dependent on rentals.

Quote from @David Marino: The market is still dropping and I expect at least 6-12 more months, but nobody can predict the future.

These events are often difficult to predict and can have severe consequences, such as significant losses or market disruptions.

All return metrics (ROI, cash flow, etc.) predict how the property will likely perform under ideal conditions on day one of a lifetime hold.

Problem is you either have to be very right in your predictions, or have lots of cash in reserve, because otherwise the “alligator’ may eat you alive! 

I think it will be really hard to predict rents nationwide, and that there will be a lot of variability by market next year.

The main thing I am concerned about is rentability and getting close to the rental predictions from rentometer and bigger pockets calculators.
