As an agent: A raccoon came out from under a bench in a foreclosure and walked through the room and out the door to the other room in a huff like he owned the place & we were interruptingAs a homeowner: I bought a house decorated with wicker, clown paintings and mirrors (tripled in value since 2012)As an investor: I had a tenant who wasn't paying her rent.

Both major expenses with no return in value to the property, probably a loss with the tree gone. 

If you've spent all of your money and have no way to keep marketing to whatever list you've used and can't buy more data, you are all done for now.

Depends on the property management company and ownership.Larger property managers will have a "standardized" CoA (we do that for 1000+ units across 5 properties we own and operate), HOWEVER, the person entering the data (typically the onsite PM) still needs to make sure they use the correct accounts for entry....and then the Regional Managers should check the PM's work regularly.

You can see visitation data, including how the last recession affected tourism (spoiler: not much) here: https://irma.nps.gov/STATS/SSRSReports/Park%20Specific%20Reports/Annual%20Park%20Recreation%20Visitation%20Graph%20(1904%20-%20Last%20Calendar%20Year)?

Their agent did them a disservice or they all knew what was going to happen (looking for the 1 in a million buyer, not caring about the data or neighborhood to put up that kind of money) just to "test it"So ask yourself this question...are you testing, or are you selling? 

Basically any credit driven data on consumers is 'gold'.

We also need to make sure there aren't too many new apartments being built, so we look at those numbers as well.We get all of that data the hard way.

Thankfully, my house has appreciated in value significantly and although it is nice to have a low mortgage, I could be making at least $1,000 per month if I was renting it out (rent avg. around the area vs my mortgage).

So here I am, having recently been laid off from a primary job (I have 2 full time tech jobs) and am not only SUPER glad I don't have that 3K a month mortgage to deal with (that said I am making the same from my one job now that I was when I lived there, it was only after I sold it that I picked up the second job but you'd be amazed how you get used to having a 30K a month gross W2 income, even with one job loss it still feels like you have none despite having a second...) and am living in a house that costs me less than 1K a month mortgage wise AND...that house that I sold has barely moved in value at all since I sold it.
