Don’t get too hung up on feeling like you need to read everything yet try to continue to consume as much info as you can.

Your $2400 4 bed could easily go empty as belt-tightening consumers/tenants move down to a perfectly fine $1400 3 bed.  

I'm thinking a $250 increase is a reasonable middle ground; however, I came across this statement in my town's code:At the expiration of a lease or at the termination of a lease of a periodic tenant, no landlord may request or receive a percentage increase in rent which is greater than the percentage increase in the consumer price index for the past calendar year prior to the termination of the lease.How exactly can I figure out what's allowable for this rent increase?

Older properties have cast iron plumbing which if well maintained are fantastic but the cost of repair or replacement can become very high.

@Alina TrigubGreat point , I’ve been driving around and writing address of properties to contact but it is a time consuming job and having a stream of brokers present you good deals may be a better strategy but you do have a great point as well , and your right , patience is key .

As mentioned, I have a background in real estate that gives me at least a basic understanding and appreciation of the home loan process (and various related considerations, including consumer credit).The specific questions I have at this time are these:1.

It's worth it, but it's usually not easy and time consuming.

Cities/states can (and sometimes do) revise their eviction statutes to make it more difficult, time-consuming or expensive to evict.

I suspect when the quarantine ends and the held-back housing supply hits the market we'll see a dip in prices in the 2 to 4 months after that time... though there are a lot of factors that come into play that will dictate the actual outcome. (...consumer confidence, interest rates, local job growth, net population growth/loss, government restrictions, savings depletion, stock market growth, etc).

Plenty of knives and forks, spatulas, a strainer, toothbrush holders, iron and ironing board, coat rack or hangars in the closet, coasters on the end tables.....all of it!
