We have lived in our apartment for nearly three years without any issues, but since April, new neighbors moved in upstairs, and the noise has become unbearable.At all hours of the day and night, it sounds like constant walking, furniture screeching, and items being dropped—even until 4 a.m.

He also visits the properties, inspects them and builds a work scope with line item budgets for each trade work.

Apparently, this is deeply embedded in terms and conditions (fineprint) when you sign up, do you really read through even single line item?

interest rates going down, would increase demand for goods/services, thereby increasing inflation.That's the theory anyway, but supply side inflation can be plenty dangerous as well.I think the 2024 outcome will just continue to benefit property holders, if you already own, just sit tight.

And when people get tunnel vision for lowest $ down, they tend to not give attention to the revenue generation of it, the operations, and that's a VERY dangerous combination of high leverage and not so-good revenue. 

Also the majority of those costs to covnert to a 2nd unit will need to be capitalized and depreciated, but some things (new appliances, flooring, paint, kitchen cabinets) can be shorter year assets vs. across the full 27.5 and IF it turns out that unit is > 50% you can use bonus as well on those items.

Quote from @Ariel Rivas: I don't know your market specifically, but it's typically cheaper to purchase those items at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Is that dangerous?
