So I currently plan on doing my own redneck baffle for Bedroom 1, reducing the air down to no more than half of what it is now, while also cutting the holes larger in Bedroom 2 (which actually isn't either hot or cold right now) and Bedroom 3 (which is running hot, being on the southwest corner). 

, yes, good marketing can certainly impact the final sales price (by expanding the pool of potential buyers, to potentially include folks that want to "overpay," for example), but it's not direct, and it's certainly not the case that listing for $25k higher means it'll sell for $25k higher (the OPPOSITE might happen, since that could reduce your pool of potential buyers!).

It is awesome, but I am also working more hours than I ever have and I am more stressed than I have ever been.

Murders and suicides have been shown to reduce property value and increase time of sale.

It is getting more difficult to find cashflow, but I thought I'd share my recent experiences to reduce some of the discouragement that investors are experiencing.If you're using quick math (like the 1% rule) to analyze properties, I suggest doing the long math on a few properties to see if you're writing off properties too quickly.

If you sell and repurchase with the same agent I'm sure you can workout a deal to reduce transaction costs.

It sounds to me like you have a nice portfolio that is relatively low stress.

But its a balancing act, 1 great property is worth more and will cause you less stress than 3 sub par 30 year fixed problem properties.  

Obviously depends on what level of investing you are at, but nonetheless…Do you prefer older units that typically will cash flow more, but also have more maintenance, etc. or newer properties that you pay a premium for with less up front cash flow, yet long term upside in reduced maintenance, appreciation, etc.

I just needed to connect to this REI community and maybe get some ease from the stress of the "what-ifs", the learning a lot of info, and getting used to analyzing deals.
