It's in the country so people looking in that area generally want peace and quiet.

They will, and in today litigious environment thats a lawsuit. 2.

Long term I anticipate construction costs will generally soften as the high-rate environment continues and stifles development.

@Mark TaleonCashflow and appreciation in this environment of high interest rates are hard to achieve at the same time.

So I started from scratch 3 years ago and purchased one by one 10 rental single family houses in the last 3 years, all in my 20 miles neighbouring environment upstate NY.

The combo of the current rate environment, the current prices of most properties, and the current rental market makes cashflow much more difficult these days that it was a couple years ago.

A secure building will appeal more to potential tenants and provide peace of mind.Energy Efficiency:Ensure the property is energy-efficient with proper insulation, energy-efficient windows, and appliances.

Protecting the tenant and landlord with insurance is a smart expenditure for peace of mind.- If the property catches fire, through no fault of the tenant, the owner's insurance does not cover the tenant’s personal property or expenses they may incur while the property is being repaired.- If the tenants cause their neighbors to suffer a loss, through bodily injury or property damage, their Renters Insurance will provide protection that would compensate the injured party.

We've had 80 more or less uninterrupted years of peace and economic stability.

Selling can make sense at times, but definitely not in this rate & elevated value environment.
