You will be able to command a higher price now with more offers and options than in the past.

Anyone goes past due you just call their commanding officer and they will take care of getting you paid. 

To carry out a transaction that is in compliance with or meets those 3 "tests" you will need (as in must have) a good command or knowledge of basic real estate, creative structures are not amateur hour.I take a more advanced approach in Sub-To transactions (not bragging, just fact) that ensures lending compliance in situations where there is more than one loan or where there is more than one beneficiary entitled to principal, interest or payments.

Will people pay more for historic not generally but if you have upgraded systems you can command higher market prices for those. 

If you rent to the military you have more recourse on getting late rent or any expense due because you can submit the issues through the tenants military chain of command.

When it comes to residential (1-4 units) and small multi-family (5-10) we typically purchase distressed properties and perform a deep energy retrofit, with the result being units which operate 40 - 75% more energy efficient following the retrofit.While this does not necessarily increase the rent we can command, it has proved to decrease our turnover and vacancy - tenants stay longer and, when they leave, we often have word-of-mouth applicants before the unit becomes vacant ... just last month we had 5 inquiries and 3-applicants on a property we had yet to advertise.

@Joshua Dorkin so cool - I'd like one in my NYC apt - probably would command 5 billion dollars in more rent. :) 

But I can still command market prices in prime downtown area.

Overall there are several rentals in the neighborhood, but our townhome is one of the nicer in the neighborhood so we seem to command about $100 over other 3/2.5s and $250 over 2/2s.
