I wasn't really thrilled being forced to quickbooks online from desktop so I would like a different software for bookkeeping but need to retain my mortgage bank too. 

Rental prices for a 3bd/2ba/2cg home 1500-2000sqft can easily range from $1,800-2,600 per month. 4) Major employers in Central NM include Sandia National Labs, Los Alamos National Labs, Kirtland Air Force Base, FBI, US Federal Government, State of New Mexico, ABQ Public Schools, University of New Mexico, Central NM Community College, Presbyterian Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Lovelace Healthcare, UNM Hospitals/Cancer Center/Level I Trauma Center/Regional Medical Center, Netflix Studios & Film Industry, Solar Panel Manufacturing & Renewable Energy Industry, Meow Wolf, Amazon Fulfillment and Distribution Centers, etc.

In my opinion, the folks that blindly listed their properties based on the presidential election will force the prices down even further.

I dont think anyone is forcing you to use them.. you could just list with your local broker.

You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

I under stand buying fixers and forcing equity..

What forces more equity growth (addition or division)?

Through rent increases, forces appreciation with $300k you sure can produce cash cow properties.   

So, they could also force the municipality to pay them some profit that way as well since those sales usually go for more than you might think is market rate.

For instance my 90 lot subdivision at one point I had 90 legal descriptions and parcels on one master deed.. as I sold them off we just deeded them out separately.. its super common especially in older platted cities were lots might have been small like 25 X 100 and someone bought 3 of them and then built one home on all three.. some places they force merge them others you can go back and recreate the Old lots of record.. there is millions upon millions made by those that know how to find shadow plats and bring to life underlying parcels.
