In fact, Suffolk County is reporting 1.3 month of supply on the market.

The one thing that really gets to me is the supply and demand.

By help, I'm not talking about housekeeping, buying supplies, syncing different programs, and such. 

Also we were able to add my MIL to the account so if she needs to buy supplies or pay contractors she can.

I attended the annual state of the market meet up here in Fayetteville and there is a lack of supply of affordable housing ($150k-$250K).

buy low, sell high. right now tampa is high, artificially high due to low supply and high demand. you cant go wrong selling, plus you would not get hit with capital gains tax if you are living there.

I do not include the cost of financing, although I include every other expense:Credit card fees, advertising, repairs, maintenance, utilities, supplies, taxes, and insurance.If you buy a property at .15 or better, it should still positive cash flow even with a 30 year mortgage and management fee. 

Just depends on supply and demand and even that will vary depending on price points. 

The alternative is to spend a few bucks at Tractor Supply and trap and move it yourself but again sometimes things are just worth paying for.  

As long as price increases are trending up it means demand from buyers is outstripping supply from sellers.
