My mom lives in a nice house that she has paid off.

I'm glad it's saved you money, that's great that you got some use out of it.My top challenge is getting contractors to go out when they say they will =) hahahaha reliability of contractor, can't be replaced by some of AI stuffs.Be nice to contractor , AI is just new term for tech guy like us to make money out of new BS.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

Nice to see Zillow agreeing with every sales person from Buffalo LOL.Buffalo is a good market to invest long term if you get a good property, on a good street, in good condition.

Exterior Deck or PatioAdding an outdoor living space like a deck or patio extends the usable living area and enhances the home's appeal, especially in regions with warm weather.In addition to these improvements, understanding the local real estate market and focusing on upgrades that align with buyer preferences in that area is crucial for maximizing ARV.Noah, thank you for this great feedback.

That's nice, but magical thinking.
