In low-income areas, pit bulls/rotweillers/german shepherds are prevalent because they are seen as weapons/protection, that's why they are chained right outside the front or back door. 

However, those crazy lumber prices have leveled back out and those were more so due to supply chain issues than inflation which makes sense why it has come back down and fallen in line with our standard inflation.We are still seeing long lead times for items such as windows, doors, and some tile. 

Due to supply chain issues, I had to source many of my own materials and personally ship them from wherever I could find them over to Spokane so that my contractor could stay focused on the rehab.

A place coming furnished could mean gold or garbage. 

It is his chain saw after all and I don't ask him to do it. 

The market is always changing, and rather than get upset about rising interest rates, falling home prices, more (or less) government regulation, supply chain issues, rent control or any of the thousands of other variables that affect the real estate market, we must be flexible and adapt to our current situation using the information we have. 

Solid strategy, there is gold in the streets if you are willing to find it.

First investment property I bought has a chain link fence around the yard that looked awful, as most do.

The only addition made was replacing a chain link fence in the back with a nicer wood fence.What was the outcome?

The next most important info is what the rents and expenses are...which you never mentioned.A seller looking to sell a property where the seller has no debt on it is a gold mine just waiting for a miner (the REI).
