The appraisal came in at 490000k arv and the comps pulled and increase in home value since a year ago shows the property at around 515000k.

We were offering $300 off first month and just recently increased the incentive to 50% off first month.

It has gotten increasingly frustrating to deal with inadequacies and complaints from my tenants as far as payment processing.

Over time, rents and property values tend to increase, improving overall returns.

(example - STR on the back end to increase cash flow)To me, forced apperception (BRRRR or buying at a discount) is a hedge against market corrections.

But i'm sure that perspective will increase or decrease as I mature. big difference though in 30 mil in equity in RE and 30 mil in cash after you sold your business or your stock and bond portfolio is worth 30mil.. crypto goes up and down to much LOL.. but I am sure there are plenty of very wealthy crypto dudes and duddets.

The allowable rent increase is not typically the big issue with rent control, the bigger issue is getting rid of poor tenants that pay their rent.

Think of vehicles like the cyber truck where you need to sign up ahead of time to pre-order and so many people want it that the value increases shortly after they are released.

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

In this era of increased rates, obtaining properties that will produce a good return are harder to find and often involve quite a bit of work.
