A roof, HVAC, and foundation on a $80k house cost the same as a roof on a 250k house (assuming a similar size but better location) with a similar PITI to rent spread.

Flat fee brokerages have been around forever, as low as $295.

Conversely, when property prices are low, rental demand decreases, causing rental rates to remain relatively flat or fall.How can you identify cities that are likely to have significant and sustained appreciation and rent growth?

Upper levels with slanted roof lines cut into living space which is very outdated and much of it becomes deadspace. 

Despite the competitive pricing and the fact that it’s been completely remodeled (new roof, HVAC units, windows, floors, appliances—you name it), it’s still sitting on the market.I’m trying to figure out how to get this property to sell faster while still turning a profit.

They charge a flat rate of $600 per $1M in price.My local association and MLS combined is about $1,600 for the year.The only thing that I really miss is having access to the NAR forms or your local state forms, and the software to fill them out so easily, with Glide.com or Zipforms. etc...

To them a 5 year old roof is in good shape for the near future the same as a 18 year old roof.

She bought a condo with lower-than-average dues, but a few months in, the HOA announced a special assessment for roof repairs.

We’ve already benefited from the rapid appreciation and from here on out, I think it will be flat or very modest growth. 

Some reasonable- a roof and ceiling repair from a major leak... some not so reasonable (they literally made me escrow the cost to add a deadbolt to a door).
