Happened to me many years ago on a Townhouse development I was the Broker for in the 80s..

Some things have shortcuts, but developing relationships isn't one of them.

I'm a Realtor and General Contractor with years of experience in Redding, buying, selling and developing properties; and will be happy to answer any questions you have about the market, the area, types of properties, etc.

I developed friendships and met a lot of great people at Rod's event and value his input and what he's doing for MFH community. 

There is so much growth here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.

Whether you’re managing properties, operating STRs or long-term rentals (LTRs), or just have an opinion on the state of the market, I’m eager to hear your thoughts and any new developments you’ve noticed.Here are a few things I’ve observed:Increased Supply of RentalsI’ve lived in Gainesville for a while now, and I remember a time when it was tough to find a rental.

Current Construction Co. and Resolute RDM have acquired this development project in Lebanon, MO.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

I had to develop tenacity and perseverance when starting my business back in the mid 1990's. 

So I would encourage you to adjust your expectations starting out and develop the discipline of saving money so that every month your net worth is higher than the month before.
