One of my problems is that when I rent it the people move there furniture and stuff in and the property ends up looking worse because of the furniture and clutter.

Communication is a key aspect in sales, but can be applied more broadly.  

Or are there any key terms/phrases I can research?

I might just spend the extra buck per SF and move to an engineered hardwood product, now that I can't find the $.99 alure any more, the difference isn't as big.

Is this a rental or are you planning on moving into one of the units?

@William McCarthyCongratulations on your desire to move to Santa Fe.

When you raise the rent or have new tenants move in; Those are the periods you can expect the highest volume of calls, inquiries, or complaints about the property.

Akshay,If your moving out of a SFH primary and claiming 2-4 unit MF as a new primary it can present an issue with certain lenders.

Looking at Redfin's data, it is appreciating over time (probably more than $15,600/year), but probably not as fast as other highly desirable neighborhoods in the Bay.I previously lived in this home before I moved and converted it into a rental property.

I am in the Tampa Bay Florida area and look forward to meeting, working and learning from those who are willing to share your knowledge.Hi Allison, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.
