Or if you find that the tiny 2br generally results in a 20% lower price per square foot, you'll need to make that adjustment on your house, too.

I estimate real values based on taking '00 prices, and adjusting for inflation.

(it is not one of the worst places to invest because they never adjusted the mileage rates - the taxes are some of the highest in the county, but the properties are some of the worst (just not soct effective when adding in the taxes to the equation) - it forced many ederly homeowners out and real estate investors in....true story....I'll be selling this property in the next year or so.So - long story short - no - assessed value and appraised value are not necessarily the same thing....

He tells me that one county over it can get crazy in court.For instance, one particular magistrate makes him spend tweny minutes proving his case, grills him pretty intensively, and requires that he produce every piece of paper that might be remotely relevant.Worse yet, even if the defendant does NOT show up, the magistrate still makes the LL exhaustively prove his case and jump through the same hoops.Maybe I'm spoiled because locally I've never faced that kind of nonsense.But here's my question: is that type of goofiness the norm or the exception to the rule?

Sign them as soon as they are willing. 4) Just as landlords feel intense pressure to fill vacancies, applicants feel pressure to find a home!  

I would give it another week or so and adjust accordingly.  5 days isn't much but then again I'd expect at least a couple applicants out of 10 showings.  

In addition, a rental kept for any length of time is going to need to be rehabbed before it can be sold (tenants are very hard on rentals).Keep in mind that after a typical real estate boom-bust cycle, it takes 8-10 years for prices to once again reach their previous inflation adjusted highs.

What goes up unrealistically also tanks eventually or has an adjustment period, which is tanking for those that are too far leveraged.

Sounds like you really have that gazelle intensity, and that will serve you well for RE.

When you go to a hotel, they certainly don't drain the spa every day, but I guess the difference is there is an employee to clean and adjust the chemicals every day, unlike in an STR.
