I moved my investments to Hawaii ,as peoples travel habits return to normal, rates in traditional destinations will continue to increase. 

Rental property has a habit of waking up one morning and saying "think I need some money today".

given that you are active in this community, i've read a lot of your posts, and i really like how you run the whole biggerpockets site, my address was more of a casual, friend-like approach, and i was unaware that addressing by last name was only for subordinates or close friends. and i have now been made me aware of an offline habit that needs to correct course!

But it's impossible to change the HABITS of a lifetime, on average I spend about 4 hours searching for plane tickets before we travel, I always know where the cheapest gas in town is, I always search for coupons for hotels on driving trips, I just replaced our 6 year old cell phones with new ones, I mentally plan out any driving trip, even daily ones and our monthly trip to the big city, I've always bought my clothes on sale.I bought me skis, boots and poles on sale, I ski at least 3 weeks every year (with a ski club-the best value).

It is vital information for me and other to learn from.

Then we have a team of in-house appraisers who set a fair market value based on the better of these two valuations. 99.9% of the time it is the appriaser who uses better comps, so the appraisal is closest to FMV.I am not calling FLFlipper out on anything here, maybe this is just his unique case, but I am tired of the majority thinking that you can buy every habitable REO in good condition for 50% of the Fair market value.

It got to the point that it became a habit.

Many of these contracts favor the PM and not the owner and it is vital that you ammend that to your preferences and protections.The second is how your PM runs their biz which is actually YOUR biz.
