@Cynthia Lee Depends on your jurisdiction, your relationship with the tenants, and your end game plan.

Many companies have left the state entirely.Insurance is a simple math game. 

It's definitely easier to find a cash flowing property in Midwest but I am of the opinion that cashflow in real estate keeps you in the game but appreciation is where you build wealth.

once this stuff gets on BP and its monster google search results IE goes to the top of the page its game over..

The rental game is funny in that you want to responsible enough to always make rent, but not successful enough to easily afford buying a house.

Stay consistent, set clear goals, and remember real estate is a long-term game that rewards patience and persistence!

Looking to upgrade my game and speed is of the essence.

If you’re looking to build long term wealth, accumulate assets, take advantage of tax code, and benefit from appreciation, then play the appreciation long game.

That way you’ve got some skin in the game, and the tenants will be less likely to protest that the other tenants are using more electricity or gas.

Some amenities are crucial and obvious (pots and pans, plates, linens, good Wi-Fi), some are unnecessary and obviously so (personal movie theater with arcade game room), but the trickier amenities lie in the 2 middle zones.What are some necessary amenities that you might overlook?
