In general, the higher valuation properties with views or close proximity to water have higher rates of returns.

In all major cities, especially ones with a higher crime index, unless you study the market and know it, I would never rely on someone else to choose a block.

For example, in higher-end or luxury markets, where the price point is much higher, full-service staging can be a game-changer.

A higher offer from a buyer without a track record is often considered a worthless offer by many brokers and sellers. 

It would for sure have to be a higher hourly rate than a typical W2 job however as agents are 1099 contractors and there are expenses associated with maintaining our licenses and operating our businesses that usually come out of our commissions.

Curb appeal for higher-end properties will be much more important, especially when it comes to marketing - most ads and main listing photos feature the front of the property.In this case, I would consult with a professional - i.e. landscape designer or stager.

Using mortgage debt at 6-7% on a refinance to pay off higher rate debt such as a credit card at 15-25% is a savings!

.- in this higher rate market, i find BRRRRs to be challenging because after a high LTV refinance the units have negative cash flow.  

So now we cover utilities for both units and the new tenant pays a higher amount too on the back unit to cover all the utilities with a great profit.  

I would spend a few bucks on nice ads in local magazines and/or do flyers in areas that are higher income.
