Right now I rent one of their properties with a couple roommates and I've been looking to buy my own place. 

I'm sure people would pay extra for some kind of "meal prep/private chef" type package in their living situation.You've got the right idea thought, but don't be afraid to reach...nothing wrong with dropping your price after a couple weeks if you don't get any interest.  

. 🤔 After having the plumber come back a couple of times to try to remediate, we brought in a different plumber that provided 2 other possible remediation things we could try.

Tenants in many markets already believe they pay too much (contrary to recent studies that show rent to property values have never been lower for the large US cities).If my insurance costs are not double my current rates over the next couple years, I will be pleasantly surprised.  

You can find some absolute MTR gems near smaller hospitals that aren't so obvious but ultimately, housing supply in the area is something I'd say is more important coupled with your amenities.

I am on a couple wholesale list in Memphis.

I can't remember the cost, not too bad, but no phone callsI sent out 1,000 mailers (letters) I designed in envelopes a week for a couple of years and made a ton of money buying properties using "creative finance" some call subto.

Then my second house which was freshly turned had a tenant that up and left after a couple of months and caused excessive damage. 

If they can build a larger home and sell it for the same or more rather then building a couple small homes why do it?

One is seminars...My first seminar I went was "free"... an hour presentation at a hotel where they 'invite' (or was it lure) you to a 3 day seminar for a couple of hundred bucks.
