Materials have increased more than 20% in the last 5-8 years.

It's kind of disconcerting when I can only raise rents by 5% but insurance is increasing by 10% to 15% per year. 

We signed P&S agreements on 6 different properties totaling 20 units approximately 8 months ago and received a call today that the price we thought we were buying at has to-be increased on average 13% due to the increased cost of construction.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $14,000 I purchased and managed a rental property in Chicago, focusing on strategic improvements and tenant satisfaction to increase both its value and profitability.

Relative AffordabilityDespite recent price increases, Buffalo’s housing market remains more affordable compared to many other U.S. metros.

This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

Quote from @Marc Shin: @Keagan Scott on any advice you have to help me increase my bookings would be appreciated! 

Keep in mind that they can increase that period if they get complains from the community, so make sure you're in good relationship with your neighbors.

If you have extra cash at the end of the month, then do double up payments on the mortgages so the principle is reduced and this will increase your heloc room.
