No remodels.RESUME: I have built 10 homes so far (contemporary-modern and all in Seattle), remodeled 3, and have 24 homes and two apartment complexes that should be built in 2016 (12 homes in Edgewood, rest of the projects are in Seattle).

So many people buy in to the "fake it 'till you make it" BS culture.

Job opportunities contribute to a stable rental market and can attract tenants.Quality of Life: The city offers a high quality of life with cultural amenities, outdoor activities, and a vibrant community.

Laramie is self explanatory as the only university in WY and the obvious fish bowl of renting to college students and the benefit of cultural opportunities found no where else in the state. 

TN is better suited for those that do not like to political aspect of CA's culture. 

Hi Frederico and welcome to BP.The first question is whether there are multifamily dwellings that are rentals as they could in theory be all condos.In any case, there is a simple reason for why and it’s because Italy doesn’t have the real estate investing culture we have in North America so there’s no sufficient interest in that to have a portal.Also, one of the main things that makes multifamily lucrative in the US is the loan products that are available and they’re not available in Italy.

That said, it comes with it's own issues of time zone differences, communication and cultural differences, etc, but overall from my perspective I would rate it as a positive experience so far.Bookkeeping is incredibly important since it is the foundation of your tax reporting, your investor reporting, analysis of the performance of your investments - it isn't something to skimp on. 

That will tell you a lot about the culture of the brokerage.   

Maybe now that the property values have risen a lot and new people moved in from other cities during Covid, maybe culturally it can improve over the next few years.

I am trying to add value (to command a higher rent), but also not pour too much time or money in as this is an investment and not my personal room.I have hardwood flooring in all rooms and am going for a contemporary look so as too appeal to young professionals.
