Like Agents these guys and gals are worth their weight in gold.

In markets with rental rate fluctuations like Dallas, deciding whether to offer a rent reduction or maintain current rates for your single-family home (SFH) can be challenging.

Don't hesitate- vacancy is going to cost you much more than a modest price reduction will. 

I still think we see 3 cuts in 2024, or a roughly .75% - 1.25% reduction in the Fed Funds rate, starting in June.

Debt reduction also has many philosophies and it's okay to choose emotion over the academic arbitrage, it's your life and your choice.  

I have used the same property manager the entire hold and have had zero issues and extremely happy with management, tenant placement and help on property tax reduction.

The one time we fought it, we got a reduction of approx 10% in assessed value, which worked out to an annual savings of about $200. 

. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.

You'll find with most lenders there will be an LTV reduction of alteast 5% for it being a short term rental and technically considered vacant .

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend seeking opportunities to negotiate a reduced interest rate from a seller or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.
