@Alex Forest nice plots.Since fed is printing money like crazy, I thought that using gold to replace US dollar to measure housing price makes more sense and can provide us a more realistic view of how expansive it is.My current feeling is that the price is relatively low, and I might keep buying for a while. if the real estate price normalized by gold increases above 700, I will sell.

Single family homes/condo are hot due to a lot of people moving into the area coupked with lower than normal supply.

I'm normally in the opposite situation where i offer a discount to get a highly qualified tenant so i am surprised by this situation. 

I got them to come down 20K in price at inspection, it's a duplex (not a normal one, a studio on one side and a 3 bedroom on the other).

Hello All,Preparing a rental for tenants and just realized that there is a longer than normal lead time on the availability of kitchen cabinets.Ikea are proving far too slow.Currently beginning the process with Home Depot.Does anybody have any suggestions where I can get a new kitchen quickly?

Is this something the servicer would normally let you do?

Just a few items; lumber prices are up 325%, conduit is up 50%, any product which is produced with materials from one country and assembled in a different country is taking 3x the normal lead time, at best.  

The articles you are reading on google normally skip a lot of important factors to get to the benefits of a Series LLC. 

The rental market is hot right now so it probably wont matter, but in normal times, I like to pay a bit extra to get a 2-tone paint (tan/white trim) to make the unit stand out a bit, but again, just preference - I don't think either get you more in rent. 

Under normal circumstances, I’d do the cash out refi, but I’m tempted to suggest getting this larger line of credit and maybe investing in a cheaper market and seeing if you can pick up some better deals by offering cash, then refinancing out of those instead.
