Real Estate is an affordable small business with a predictable cashflow and attracted millions of investors.The Biden's tax rate amendments on Capital Gain rate hikes and like kind exchanges not only hit the wealthy, but it also impacts millions of Professionals around the real estate services and significantly dents the volume and economic returns in reality.Appears they forgot the morality learned from the farmer and golden eggs story, not to pull off all the eggs at once, with capital punishment.

Trying to find nice looking, but also affordable & durable cabinets. 

Just my perspective and why real estate is more affordable that end compared to west 

The outlying areas tend to offer newer, more affordable options while others enjoy the muti-family in the core.

I have decided not to take it on my single family homes because there is a good chance that somewhere down the road I will sell them to afford a much bigger project and at that time I will want to maximize the dollars in.  

They have a strong student rental market, affordable prices, and I assume will be within driving distance of where you live.

If it cash flows, you can afford to keep it forever.The people that eventually get killed are those that speculate that appreciation will bail them out. 

In other words, is there a pool of tenants on beachside that can actually afford the much higher priced units that are newly renovated?

So I want the kitchen to look good, but something durable, tenant proof and affordable is what I'm after. 

That said I am also looking to invest in MIL, but only in mid size 5-12 unit MFRs where I can afford them
