I'll have to play with it for a few tenants/turnovers and see what tends to work for me.  

My favorite contractors are the ones interested in investing in real estate - they tend to look at the project through a different set of eyes. 

Everyone wants to buy in Virginia Beach which is understandable as rents can tend to be higher but properties cost more as well.

They tend not to bring value from an appraiser perspective as much as a new buyer. 

I did hear from an HVAC guy to watch out for the ones that are BLUETOOTH enabled, although they are convenient, apparently in a case where there's a storm and power shuts off, it tends to scramble the Thermostat unit....Account Closed Incredible right....

Beyond that, a relatively free market tends to squeeze the inefficiencies out of business over time anyway so I suspect most stuff that we aren't doing now we will just go back to doing.

Small summer only resort town.RE prices, assume stable over 10 years as town is not growing appreciably and comm. properties tend to sit on the market for many years (5+).I currently RENT 1,000 sqft showroom with small attached apartment for $20k/year. 

Loans in default tend to get more scrutiny.

I do think the two tend to have a loose correlation, but clearly every market is going to have its own dynamics.
