You're not going to win any case by showing a PA DMJ pictures of clearly damaged doors and windows and insisting that you won't fix them as long as the tenants are smoking inside.

Tough to win that battle.Just my thoughts.....hopefully you prove me wrong and make all kinds of cash on the PM business and are able to create automation and outsourcing to handle all the work at minimal expense with lots of profit.

That may be your best bet.

@Bronson SimmonsGenerally you should look for someone who sells at least 10 properties annually in the area that you are looking to buy.Someone local doing that much business or more will be able to explain what it takes to win offers in that area. 

Bet on the Fed (and the human nature of government officials). 

If you're looking for property with an investment mindset you'll be able to find a good deal that will produce income and gain equity and for a house hack property, that's a WIN!

It isn't a sound investment strategy to bet everything on market appreciation.  

In those very unlikely cases you’d lose but would win out over the course of the portfolio.  

Your best bet is to find a local Bermuda realtor if you're still interested.RegardsGreg

Obviously if you think inflation is heading back down soon the I-Bonds are a better bet.
