Too many people run them like they drive their cars: stomping on the gas, slamming on the brakes, then complaining about poor MPG.

You might be glad DH put on the brakes, at least until after you are getting a complete night's sleep.  

@Caleb Brake   I've been working and investing in this market for about 25 years now. 

I too get frustrated at a resort charge but for me I just look at total price when comparing properties.If you went to a mechanic for new brake pads and they said it would be $195 would you upset? 

Hey mate,My opinion is to hire a local trusted property manager.Investing in real estate should not be about getting yourself into "another job" but rather elevating and delegating.Don't do the "$20 per hour work" per se but rather focus on scaling your portfolio.Granted a property manager can "make" or "brake" an investment so be super diligent.Just my opinion for what it's worth.All the best

I would like to help but please put the brakes on and get all your ducks in a row.  

Thanks for helping someone apply the brakes. :)

The median existing-home sales price increased 4.8%, reaching $393,500—the highest price ever recorded for March, NAR reports.Meanwhile, builders pressed the brakes on new-home construction, sensing buyer hesitancy from rising mortgage rates.

Would it be the more money I make flipping the Bigger tax brake I get from Capitol Gains?

Agree that’s it’s so inflated that when other mom/pop or ppl at bars start talking about it, I’m pumping brakes on my purchases.
