Remember, the past 7yrs has seen an astronomical increase in rents... 

With rates being astronomical, what would you suggest?

If you did file a claim was your insurance automatically raised astronomical amounts?

The only reason people, including me, have made money in the last few years is because the market went up an astronomical amount. 

Labor costs are astronomical.

I have some tenants who use next to no utilities and some tenants who use an astronomical amount of utilities.

Or the prices are astronomical and it just makes more sense to do it ourselves.

I went through the process on Basic road right behind water street but decided against it as construction costs at the time were astronomical (2022) 

Yeah no that's astronomically high

The return I go on $28k is astronomical and allowed me to buy other properties with the equity growth later.So it doesn't really matter if I make $1 million minus $28k invested ($972k) or $1 Million minus $21k invested.I know a lot of Investors here on BP seem to think that's a big deal or that I shouldn't buy for appreciation, but you can read my post.
