@Brady Ascheman To make the decision strictly from a Property Management standpoint you have to calculate your vacancy cost and cost to acquire a new tenant to know if a rental increase is even a smart play. 

Once that's covered, you can go all-in on those fabulous renovations.Effective marketing plays a pivotal role in attracting tenants and increasing property appeal.

Negotiating is a skill that needs to be practiced and consistently role played to get right.

🙌 I’ve definitely seen the pros and cons play out in both single-family and multifamily properties in my own journey.

I would only consider Decatur for a cash flow play, not an appreciation play.  

If first time home buyers are having a difficult time coming up with the funds for even the costs to play as a first time home buyer then are the non profits supposed to pay the buyers agent commission too? 

Yup this is right out of the Sub Too guys play book. 

Cash flow is real, but it’s often a long-term play.

I don't think anyone has ever said anything about sheets, towels, Keurigs, wifi speed, tv stations, pack-n-plays, the games in the game room, the upgraded appliances, etc.

I think new investors who post here and take all the feedback as a whole, with a grain of salt, can really put it into play in real life and then discuss with investors at meetups in their area to get over the hump.
