Appreciation WILL NOT AND CAN NOT return to pre-bust levels for a VERY long time, the financing isn't there, the supply is too great, there are too many delinquent properties that banks just haven't foreclosed on yet, there are too many that banks haven't put on the market, and, in many markets, prices were so far out of line with incomes, it just can't do it again without Option ARMS, etc.It will be a good 10 years before appreciation in most markets exceeds maybe 3 - 5% annually for more than a year or two (there will be short, sharp blips upward but not sustained, IMHO).

From a business standpoint, I have analyzed that option to the point of REALLY understanding why property managers do what they do, which reinforces my choice to self-manage.Honestly, the only way that I have found to build a sustainable management business would have to include selling the "extras" above and beyond the percentage of rents collected that is commonly how managers are paid.

remember no one is saying spend the most money that you canMy path and approach is finding the items for less So I may opt to find a seller of goose neck faucets for 50 dollars more than a builder grade faucet Even through the regular price of the gooseneck may be 300 I find it for 80Or I chose laminate flooring It offers a nice look that I can run throughout the houseSaving extra board for repairs down the lineI don't have to pay for carpet cleaning and so far my floors have stood up I paid 700 to do two apartments and now four years later I only had to replace two boardsIt's about having the commitment and desire to do more for your customer and still maintain sustainability and growth Isn't that what good businesses do?
