@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. 

The play is that rather than having to wait until the foreclosure process is completed, the investor can rent out the property (and earn a return - after rehabbing it, of course) during the process.

The mega site in Richmond, as well as Mt Vernon, will really change the landscape in these areas as they did in E-town when the battery plant came in play. 

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

Hi Lorenzo, Within my 20 years of experience, I’ve seen this play out many times, especially in competitive markets like East Boston.

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? 

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

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.

It's a forced equity and appreciation play with the benefit of personal use and the hope that 100% bonus depreciation comes back.

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