In #realestateinvesting, I see so many newer investors and homeowners make this mistake: they spend lots of money on items that will not increase the value of their property or protect it from a decrease in value.

Think about a company that is trying to maintain a long history of paying over x%, or never decreasing their dividend.

Decrease the down payment, all other terms are solid.

Taber is a Municipal District but it has paired with Vauxhall which is a small town that has seen decreasing population to the tune of -5% growth.

Paying extra on a mortgage is not going to decrease you future payments, while paying down a credit card could reduce your monthly minimum payments. 

Each of the revaluation statements includes verbiage that if I appeal the new assessed values, the taxes could potentially decrease, remain the same, or increase.2.  

A downturn in the market can lead to a decrease in property values and rental income.Management Hassles: Owning and managing properties can be time-consuming and require a lot of effort.

@Matthew MartinRuben Cruz at Crulliance is a great CPA in Tampa that actually works very proactively meaning he will do tax projections in Q3 and Q4 and proactively let you know where your tax bill is and give you documented written out options in order to decrease your tax liability.

An investment is more attractive when expected return increases or when perceived risk decreases.

Also keep in mind that Detroit's population is decreasing by one person every 22 minutes.
