Interesting studies where people who were given a free coffee mug valued that mug at far more than they were willing to pay for an identical mug. 

I've been shopping for a new one without much luck. 

Hi Group, quick question.. when you are shopping rental properties, do you really care about the age of the house as long as it gives good cashflow/yield ?

Not sure if I can offer any info or help but I’m always down to grab lunch or coffee or something!

They are making great efforts to add to the downtown area, I have a good friend who just opened a bouldering gym downtown, and another friend looking into opening a "hip" bookstore/coffee shop.

We can have a call or coffee together to talk more about your plans.

Once we settled on an asset class (bigger SFH) we started shopping around for a realtor.

Currently, A fully leased shopping center and 3 stand alone building owners make up a 8 acre commercial site. 

On the other hand, if you are ok with waiting the area will more than likely improve over time, and combined with the cheap prices and outrageously low taxes (just skip grocery shopping for a week) and your holding costs for the year will be next to nothing.If you have any more questions please reach out.Dan Powers - Real Estate Agent

Again, with rates so low, it's worth it to ask your lenders when shopping for a loan.
