Hi Les,The forecast for the Fort Wayne Metropolitan Statistical Area is optimistic, predicting a growth rate that gradually increases throughout the year.

I think it would be worth It to schedule a few consultations and ask what you can expect if you hire that company and how it will benefit you.The bottom line is having a RE focused tax professional is a great option that can be worth its weight in gold.

I think we already reached the inflection point mate.Old school "Hard Yakka" has gone out the window.Look at folks getting their panties in a tangle with "return to office" company mandates hahaI'll stop there and and say no more so it doesn't get misconstrued but I"m not too optimistic over the next 20-30 years when it comes to the current work force maturing and being expected to "pull the weight".Thankfully we have AI and maybe even robotics taking over lol

Since you are just buying the quadplex, you may not want vacancies right away, so you may want to more gradually bring rents up to market and start with a smaller increase, like 10% if you are 20% under market. 

People are extremely friendly and our foodie scene punches way above its weight.  

However, multifamily properties may offer more considerable long-term rewards if you're ready to take on the challenges of maintaining numerous units and are interested in gradually creating a larger revenue stream.The optimal decision ultimately comes down to your own investment objectives, risk tolerance, managerial skills, and the particular market dynamics of the regions you're thinking about.

It's definitely a flawed comp method on it's own but if buyers and sellers put weight on it, then it needs to be considered.  

However, this risk needs to be weighted against other risks of managing properties remotely since doing it from ON has its own issues (can't do even smallest of repairs on your own, can't check on the condition of the units, can't even show them to tenants in person to evaluate those tenants when you are first renting to them, etc).

The dynamic gradually went from me needing them and vetting me for their program to aggressive now or never ultimatums, challenging/criticizing my commitment and morals, and using religious appeals and made up personal stories to try and get me to see the parallel and cave/sign/pay.

Now, that doesn't guarantee the qualified use will be met but it at least holds much more weight.
