The market has been moderately competitive, with a balanced inventory of homes for sale.Durham, with its population growth, improving economic indicators, and thriving real estate market, has experienced a transformative decade.

I have found that tenants are typically haphazard when it comes to cleaning up after pets and ensuring pets do not cause moderate damage to the property.

Depending on the broker, they may be willing to help out and co-list these properties with you, but at that point you may not be coming out ahead on the commission for the sale after accounting for all fees and splits-(Moderately Involved) Pay a discount service to handle the listings, and you handle all other transaction coordination.

Are you seeing other communities who’ve found a more moderate middle ground?

Not a life changer and just one minor CapEx repair or a moderately bad turn over will eat that up for 3+ years.I prefer to hear about real profits (dollars), after all vacancy, expenses, CapEx, and debt service and also how much in retained earnings (i.e. reserves) is in the business. 

I would like to develop the property with the main objective of providing some more affordable housing in my area while providing me with a moderate passive income through long term rentals.

They have removed the density/height bonuses that incentivized green roofs, low/moderate-income housing, limited new build heights (intention of fewer 3 stories) and is forcing the hand of the developers to use more expensive building materials and processes. 

Drive a moderate car, live in a moderate house, keep consumer spending and most importantly consumer debt to an absolute minimum.

But given this is her request and is a moderately significant ask of me financially/timing/logistically I'm wondering if it's reasonable to compromise on the plan.As for rent increases I intended to do it anyways - taxes, water, propane, maintenance have all drastically risen since I bought the property 7+ yrs ago, especially over last couple yrs and rents haven't budged for over a decade or more while they've skyrocketed around me.
