If the consensus is that they are flat or higher, properties will be priced accordingly. 

Why would you literally wait until the last minute, when a flat tire or difficulty finding a parking space be the difference between keeping and losing your home?

His stuff works if you work it, which is where most people fall flat.  

I am working with a RE-focused CPA this year who charges a flat fee of $2,500 and is very responsive so far. 

I did minor improvements to both of those, but unfortunately had to replace the roof on each (Flat roofs suck, lesson learned).

Things like a new roof can range - here in Philadelphia where i do a lot of work, our flat rubber rowhome roofs are fairly inexpensive and standard . . .

It is flat out not worth the headache, impact to other members and having to find new members anyway to fill all the spots that left because you wanted to fill a single room. 

My business is built around doing deals for out of state investors and my mind is BLOWN by how many flat out refuse to come visit, meet our staff or walk the property that they bought and we are rehabbing for them.

Prices a few years ago were based on expectations of (in addition to interest rates staying low): - Then current operating cost assumptions (like insurance cost expectations being flat)- A seeming disregard for record levels of new inventory / supply hitting the market- Extremely high inbound migration expectations which are likely to not be met, due to both natural disasters and the boomerang effect when people from California or the Northeast move to the American South and hate every minute of the humidity, the large and relentless swarm of insects, and the occasional hurricane. 

We fixed the foundation and the flat roof issues with pooling water, and rents didn't meet the mortgage just yet.In 2023, we finally started to cash flow.
