You Ladies and Gents are the best!

Eventually my partner and my own health insurance cost rose to over $1400 a month which just wasn’t sustainable so I got a job in a group home on third shift.

I should have been buying houses like they were candy bars when they were super cheap, and then worried about heavy rehabs and slowing down when prices (and rates) rose.

I just had a lady move into one of my rentals who claimed she would be there for 2-3 years.

The median sale price rose to $350,000, reflecting a substantial 10.8% increase from the previous year.Total housing inventory showed a notable 19.2% increase from a year ago which is much needed.Half of the homes sold were under contract in 23 days or less, a slight increase from the previous month but a decrease from a year ago.For sellers, 43.5% of homes sold for the asking price or above, with 21.5% selling for more than the asking price.

I know my cleaning lady for a long time and she is great.

One time a cleaning lady asked me what I was there for because she knew there were no guests on that floor, but otherwise no one has ever asked me who I am or why I’m there.

She met a lady in California who told her as you get older you won't want to deal with the hassle of tenants and rentals or PM's, and you'll want to sell like I did.

Yet, as interest rates rose, institutional capital took a breather, which allowed private buyers to gain market share in 2023.Pricing trends have also experienced discernible changes.

Look up Kate Kirkwood, she is known as the “lead lady”
