I am still very active in my local market as a host of the WWL Home Improvement each weekend.

We've lived in over 10 homes while raising our 3 children that we improved and sold.

I am optimistic that things might improve with this change, but I would not pay again just to find out.

Clarity shows commitment and improves your chances of obtaining funding, whichever property you choose.

If interest rates settle down and rents improve I may try the Long term route.   

You're also going to need survey and engineering work to get the permits done for putting in the utilities to the buildings, flatwork and other improvement requirements around the buildings.

Does it improve the roof itself, or does it bring increased maintenance.

I hear people talking about air flow etc.

Building a Phase 1-5 messaging campaign is the easy part.I'd recommend you build this yourself, so you can see what's working and what's not, and improve it over time with added features, automations, and complexity.

make some cosmetic improvements to the place while you're there.
