My business partner and I purchased a 4 plex property in Grand Rapids Michigan.  

We are seeing these developed rapidly around here - West Hartford, Simsbury, Avon, Farmington the list goes on. 

I guess the owner would have to weight the cost vs benefit.

As I’ve written previously, the Top 20 builders have been rapidly gaining nationwide market share (>50% in 2023 vs. 33% in 2013).

It is a great, rapidly appreciating neighborhood, with the opportunity to buy at a discount and value add.

Can I cut the glass, etc. in place to remove the majority of the weight, and then I'll just have the frame to remove? 

Louis may not experience rapid appreciation like some coastal cities, it has shown consistent and steady growth, which is favorable for long-term investments.Diversification: Investing in a different market can diversify your real estate portfolio, reducing risk.Considerations:Neighborhood Research: Research neighborhoods thoroughly.

You'll want to understand what kind or notices and documents you need to get executed to either up their rent or turn the unit.Solid long term tenants are worth their weight in gold in my book so if theres a way to up the rent and keep them happy I's say thats the best route personally.

I think the key is to do these during slow or at least stable times and not during major market shifting factors like the interest rates increasing rapidly.  

Does this guidance carry any weight?
