If you want more affordable housing, attend city commission meetings and advocate for approving new developments.

The more protections the city layers in, the more this compounds. 

 Being a landlord in New York is a special kind of hell I wish on no man.

I like the filter of "Would you live in that property or city?"

Although I don't personally like the trends, they were supported the City of BBL's October Compliance & Occupancy Data, which provided the following:1 - The occupancy rate for October was 38%, which compares to 55% prior year; 2 - Average nightly revenue dropped by 36% on a year-over-year basis; and3 - Demand decreased by 22% on a year-over-year basis, while SUPPLY ALSO INCREASED by 13%!

I've done flips, long term rentals, and now I own and in house manage a short term rental in Michigan City.

Hi @Troy Kehoe, I always point my clients to the city government development department when determining what pool protections they need to put in place.

Hi everyone,I'm in the market to buy a quadriplex in the Kansas City area, priced at $450,000.

ADUs can provide additional rental income, which can help offset mortgage payments or other expenses.Extend your homeowner's insurance to cover the ADU.Be prepared for potential increases in property taxes due to the added living space.Given that your property is not in a dense urban area, make sure to check specific local regulations as they may differ from city regulations.

Again a real reduction of taxes.My favorite of all time though is my client who did a 1031 of a farm and bought investment properties in each of the three cities where their children lived (tax deferral).
