But when the engine catches fire, you better have someone who knows how to handle the emergency under pressure.

You should be able to gauge their character during that conversation.The eviction process in NH is fairly simple and straightforward, but it's important, as @Richard Dale-Mesaros said, to follow it to the letter, or it will get thrown out.

While it's a bit of a sales pitch for his newsletter, I like that he makes use of data from his 5 "vital signs" (Existing home sales, New home building permits, Mortgage loan defaults, Foreclosure sales, Interest rates)  to quantify trends rather than relying on the media and gut feeling to gauge the state of the market.Narrowing down to 5 indicators is maybe an over-simplification, since circumstances will vary in every market, but I like the idea of being able to chart some key indicators and make discussions of where the market might be heading more tangible and less emotional.Is this type of analysis a worthwhile part of a real estate investor's toolkit?

I ran a lawn care and landscaping business on the side last year and Homeadvisor was the absolute worst company to work with for lead generation, they have a super high pressure sales team to get contractors on their site.

Beta measures the volatility of a fund relative to the market by gauging how much the fund’s returns move up or down given the gains or losses of its benchmark market index.

@Thomas HickeyHi Thomas,have you looked at what last six months sales activity to try to gauge what the market is selling at?

Rising interest rates will exert some downward pressure on valuations - but the degree will likely depend on how highly overvalued a particular market is when the rates rise.Thinking back to a double digit mortgage rate in my youth, the primary concern was not whether the lender would lower the appraised value if rates rose significantly, but that the lender might decide I could no longer adequately service the debt.
