@George Kopp I use the Allen & Roth faux wood vinyl blinds from Lowe's, they average about $30-35 per window for regular sized house windows.

My recommendation is to choose cities in safe and economically diversified areas with above-average income and population growth.

What are the best sources to receive local real estate data I.e( market inventory, average days, median sale price, etc)?

I plan on buying in the Phoenix, AZ area where houses at the moment costs $300,000+ average, but I feel like that is a lot for someone starting off.

There is risk of course with negative average cash flow but appreciation in DFW has been consistent for years.I bought a 4 bedroom single family and am renting the rooms out, it might be something to consider as it's house hacking while being more affordable up front.

You're unlikely to see many of your tenants, on average, suffer from debilitating effects of COVID, should they be vaccinated, as well.

When I replace any filter, I write the date on it, and that helps me track how long they last on average. my .002 cents

Thing is I can afford it because I live in a $2000 average rental market, not far from where you can find ugly $1M homes with normal people living in them somehow.

They're averaging about 1,000 apps per calendar day and they have a little more than 400,000 apps in the queue.

My wife and I do our own cleaning and it takes an average of 45 minutes each time to make the place perfect.
