The MLS is a waste of time here except for a select few players who have all the cost savings in place to dominate. 

It's not a "low-cost" option though, so I suppose this is where you would need to prioritize--recycled glass adds a certain wow factor.  

When I do refi or sell, I prioritize his deals to recycle the $ for the next buy. 

I know, well I thought I did all the real " players" in Cleveland. 

I'm a firm believer that setting up your own spreadsheet will give you the most knowledge about the data and allow you to prioritize what's important to you as opposed to a template.

I want to get to know the Players, contractors, mgmt companies, finance and RE.

If you’re able, take a tour of the house as if you were a potential buyer and nitpick everything that’s wrong with the property and prioritize what repairs will return the most value.

If so, how are you prioritizing cash flow vs appreciation vs market value stability?

Also, a strong financial player can swoop in and buy out less financially able people.

The REAL players have to deal with new nonsense and new "players" in town that make everyone's business' harder to operate than usual.Hey, maybe something like a recession that may or may not be coming will wipe out all these "players" 🙂
