I have mixed feelings on this.....part of my brain says to take that money and pay down the debt, that's what I would do if t were my household finances...but then, what a brillant political move to send everyone (well they're saying only taxpayers) a check for a few grand.

They also offer a cheap and efficient way to skiptrace and send post cards, you can even design your own with their creator.

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.

Those effected go well beyond the property owners, the economic contribution of RE and subsequent economic loss in the form of: management, maintenance, landscaping, caretaking, hospitality, tourism, contracting, designing, pools and gardening is economically catastrophic and will reverberate well beyond specific zip codes.

Realize that you need to design around it.
