As I posted recently on BP, some of the units that I've owned included heat and hot water in the condo fee, which increased the condo fee such their fee was in the $380 monthly range. 

If you have had it a few years I would imagine the value has increased substantially. 

We chose this area and home because of the redevelopment in the area, increasing values, proximity to major venues like Lucas Oil and Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

If you could buy it with a 15% discount: $60,000And rent discount at $2200 mo. with a 5% increase annually would be: $132,615 for 5 yearsYou would be buying the home at a 48% discount in this example.

Here's what I learned:- Streamlined lead follow-up increased our speed.- Automation helped us focus on the most valuable leads.- The system saved us both time and money, allowing us to close more deals.Anyone else tried this?

Have you seen an increase on the rental side? 

However, investing locally has become increasingly unfeasible and unrealistic due to the high costs.

True business man!

Buyers usually want to purchase on today’s value while sellers often want to use future potential of the property (“current rents are below market” or “room to build an additional property”, etc) to increase the purchase price or likelihood of a sale.

That will increase your material costs for the job and is the contractor paying for the material in their bid or are you paying for it and paying them a labor cost.
