I won’t comment on why people can’t disagree without a war as a result, but this seems to be the times we live in - oh well….My experience differs from yours.  

I tend to disagree.

Keep in mind there are many on BP who will completely disagree with many of the above.

Feel free to disagree. 

I disagree here.

@Nina Penuela - I couldn't disagree more with the comment "Huntsville is a market to watch in 2024, offering solid opportunities for both investors".This market has been absolutely brutal in 2024 for investors.  

@Ryan Prange Disagree with the thought that you only need one bank account for all your properties.

I completely disagree, paying cash is a horrible idea unless you plan on taking out a mortgage in the next 6-12 months.

Personally, I wouldn't totally disagree, but it is very much in the eyes of the beholder what "nice place to live" means.Based on your post, I would assume you are getting requests because you are a new landlord (maybe the old one was not a kind person, so tenants chose not to make any requests) and that you are asking them to pay more rent for a unit that is likely in worse condition than when they moved in.So now, you can either tell them no, or you can accommodate and potentially open up pandoras box of setting expectations that you will cater to all requests all the time, or as noted, you can remove yourself from the equation and hire a PM to handle the requests.  

I've syndicated multifamily offerings myself, and I have deep seated opinions in underwriting and asset management.There's one thing I seems to be consistent across the industry that I vehemently disagree with, and that's the expense escalator(YOY increases) for insurance.I STILL see people underwriting for 3% YOY insurance increases.
