The majority of the messages are requests for early/late checkout, recommendations, and misc items.  

Some special assessments are already board-approved for 2025 and 2026 to help raise capital for such items, however I know when the time comes there will be a loan which likely demands a higher monthly payment for owners -- reducing my cashflow. - Based on sale of other units in the complex, I believe my current equity to be roughly $160,000, a little more than 50% equity. - The condo is currently leased through April 30, 2025. - August 2025 will be 3 years since I moved out.

The ones that really interest me I will respond to and of course those who donated to my charity :)  and or send me gifts :)  But those who just think a quick sentence and we owe them  Nope just say thank you but I no longer do that. 

The properties themselves often have flaws and outstanding cap ex items that are wrongly ignored.  

They make ordering items from different companies easy, and you get discounts from each store that has partnered with them. 

The item that I hate shopping for the most is dressers, and nothing else comes remotely close. 

Tenant had some risk items such as extension cord going from outside to inside which invited an inspection.

But, these broad market studies are so large, they are almost meaningless, in the real world.Between glut of new supply in many "hot" markets coming online, a continually softening economic outlook, inflation over last couple years making day to day items feel cost prohibitive, many average renters are strapped and seeking lower cost housing.  

@Blaise Bevilacqua - I agree with the added expense items that others have called out including vacancy, repairs/maintenance, capex, unit turns, and low insurance.

I think the removal of toilet seat and items bolted to the walls show malicious intent as well.
