She and I are like oil and water, we are just fine as long as we are not combined!

I think you may bet getting some higher values because of the oil related activity.

This is our own fault for buying foreign cars, junk from China, sending jobs to India, and buying oil from our enemies instead of drilling our own.

It's all subjective on a case by case basis.For instance one owner I know owns a multifamily complex of ranchers single story (over 100 units) on about 12 acres.Over the years retail commercial has built up all around it.The owner hasn't raised rents in 3 years.90% of the community is 55 and older even though it is not designated for that.The owner keeps it filled and does minor things to maintain it.Eventually it will probably be torn down and sold off for redevelopment.Knowing that it doesn't make sense to really over improve it and increase the rents.When buying a multifamily building you have to look at many factors and where it is located to determine what your plan will be.I like upping the rents slightly so that you get the increase but are still below market.As other shave said for someone to move and pay deposits and moving fees etc. they won't do it for a small amount.It's like a restaurant upping a burger 25 cents.You won't be happy about it but will deal with it.Up the burger at once by 1.00 and many might look for another place to eat.

Watch the price of oil per barrel as when it is high asphalt is high.

Buy a broom sized squeege to get out all the water & dirt/oil.

I enrolled in the program for the oil delivery.

I don't know the response rate but it's probably lower than that of the "former Nigerian Oil Minister's" emails, lol.Ryan, come on, we've got the best legislators money can buy.

There could be a fair amount of money spent while holding until a future resale or future refinance.I would not be put off by the $5K but I suspect you will find many people want to shave it down.

What method(s) have you found to most accurately calculate what a tenant will pay to rent a house?
