Can you buy a house and be within reason of what your current rent? 

For those that do invest in real estate using this, what are your reasons? 

@Deborah Burian - maybe you devised this 'spam messaging ploy' for this reason or maybe you did not, but either way, a pretty remarkable way to get a personalized message from @Mindy Jensen!

People going to the university for whatever reason? 

For this reason, I prefer to plan renovations when a long-term tenant moves out.

The reason we supply a couple packs is to avoid the cheap knockoffs. 

During period of low interest every post on BP was about cash flow - now that cash flow upon acquisition is dead the only option is equity which is also reeling because price appreciation is finally back to realitypersonally I buy for growth because I buy to hold for 10-20 years or longer.

We took the reverse action and started lowering asking rents until they moved.I suspect the reason that one property of yours turned quickly is because your asking rent was very favorable vs. local competition. 

The contractor will give you better pricing the more you use them, some GCs increase their price, but those are the ones you would like to not use (side note, of course with inflation you need to pay your people right, but it needs to be reasonable).
