Assuming the Oakland rental market continues to remain stagnant/competitive with newer buildings going up, is property appreciation the only way to increasing wealth with my building?

Use surveys to gather feedback on their experience.When tenants feel valued and respected, they’re more likely to take care of the property and renew their leases, saving owners time and money.Fairness with VendorsVendors play a crucial role in maintaining properties, and treating them fairly ensures they remain reliable partners.

But it won't affect any remaining profit you leave in the 1031.Here's a couple thoughts that you'll need to think about to make a good decision.1.

Many are looking to retire or shift out of active management, especially as interest rates rise.From what I’ve read in Bloomberg, Austin's market in 2025 remains highly competitive but still has opportunities in older neighborhoods and suburban areas.

There are too many variables that would go into that algorithm to get a handle on it without actually seeing it.The bottom line is that a good owner can remain in the top of the rankings on both platforms.

I really try to stand out from the remaining agents that only seem to care about their gut and their money being made, whereas I care about the service I'm providing.

I have $55K in the stock market at the moment and plan to save (and grow) the remaining in the stock market until I have enough to pay off the entire mortgage. 

More states are creating "just cause" eviction laws, essentially stating the landlord must allow the tenant to remain in the property except for a few specific situations.It won't end well.

Quote from @Jason Ghent: Hi everyone,For the FHA, what about the case where you live in the primary residence but just rent out the remaining rooms?

The borrower will be responsible for $3K at closing while the lender will fund the remaining $12K for the interest reserve.
