I'm very suspicious of the numbers for New York and the appreciation for Lakeland, FL looks like a funny outlier.

Went a bit heavy on the annual taxes due to the increase in the area the past few years.

This would increase housing supply, helping to lower costs while promoting homeownership—a key goal for municipalities nationwide.With more homes available, renters could transition to homeowners, giving them a stronger stake in their communities and the opportunity to build wealth.

More eyeballs mean greater viewership, improved SEO, and increased revenue.

I am thinking to switch to online rent collection from receiving checks in the mail, but worried that receiving 1099k will increase the complexity during tax filing time.
