For example, Clearwater FL (famous beach and Phillies Spring Training) does have a 30 day minimum on rentals, making it essentially impossible to have an investment perform well. 

though everyone at the closing could not believe that I was only 19 years old and buying their first duplex it made me feel really special and and good knowing I was performing better than anyone near my age group.

@Randall King If you find the property isn't performing well, a 1031 exchange would defer the tax and concentrate that equity into something that has a greater cash flow potential, like what @Corby Goade said.

Unfortunately Good Cause Eviction passed last night in the city of Rochester, NY.I want to thank Council Members Lashay Harris and Michael Patterson for doing the right thing and voting “NO” on this largely performative legislation…that will only TEMPORARILY protect a small handful of city residents living in EXTREME under market rental units…But it will have broad and adverse negative consequences for the WHOLE community.

Sounds like again they are patching for as cheap as possible.

My cabins (1 to 5 bedrooms, all with views, and all except the 1 bedroom is further from town) are still performing well and most are on track to meet or exceed 2023 returns.The days of buying and everything running easy with people filling your dates and throwing cash at you are over.

The Cape Coral Code Compliance officer showed the roofer the various emails to BTC, which left the roofer very unhappy as he then knew he had been misled and made him liable for a fine for illegally performing work while a red stop work order was in place.BTC appears to be continuing to cause damage to customers and other contractors. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

My 22 year old son will be leading his second rehab and will be performing his first live-in rehab.  

I openly share the historical performance of my Detroit rentals for anyone interested.
