Rent a storage unit in a nearby town, ship all items to storage unit, pay someone to then use the items to furnish the home or make a weekend trip 

Do you know if other properties nearby offer W/D in the property (vs. just the hookups as you currently haveHey Jaycee, seems the other rentals in the area just offer hookups.

Drop trying to "think like a businessman", "reinvest in your business", "level up" etc - the fewer empty words you pollute your brain with, the clearer is your thinking.Now, off of my weekend soap box.

I appreciate this.I'm trying to simplify / streamline this even further (with fewer tools, if possible) and fewer "clicks" for me (goal for me is less management of tools and property and more "just click here" to get a process started).I like seeing how you have worked out your process, and thank you for sharing.

Affordability is about 1:3So yeah on the surface it looks like a big difference, but there's a lot of things not controlled for in the stats- There were a crazy amount of houses built in the years just after the war, so housing stock was easy to come by everywhere;- Homes had nowhere near the kind of features they have now - 2 car garages, dishwashers, OTC microwaves, W/D hookups, high efficiency windows, central heat & air conditioning, etc - all those doodads and niceties drive up the cost of housing;- Fewer mortgages were 30 year, so homeowners had to pay (relatively) higher monthly payments;- Rentals were almost exclusively apartments, so there was more supply for buyers;ETCI think these things tend to be more stories that make for good press but aren't really that grounded in reality overall.
