There is no perfect property. 

I do see lots of self storage and warehouses going up, so my default assumption would be that the old shopping malls do NOT trade for less than build cost, but it's possible that the marketplace is not perfectly efficient. 

With Amanda Frecks as a partner and a clear plan for strategic improvements, it was the perfect fit for a quick flip and profit.

A nice multi family property that you can do some light fixtures on sounds like a perfect strategy for you so you and your wife can have your own unit.

Flips have done good not great, Air Bnbs are going good not great, and rentals all were brrrr'd perfectly but like most cash flow just enough to pay the bills and cover expenses.

They’re easy to install and, while not perfect, they’ll make a noticeable difference.

No one is perfect though in RE if your doing volume your going to have a few that are bummers but at least in our program there is control.. not this feeling of helplessness when you hand your money over to a syndicate and they go dark your totally out of control of your funds..

To newer investors, they may rely on their agents to act as the Chief Investment Officer, effectively thinking the agent will bring them only perfect deals that meet their investment objectives.  

Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

It should be pretty accurate - high level data sites are not always going to be perfect, but should always be directionally correct and AirDNA has a pretty strong track record.
