@Luke Millet, you should be able to look what other 4 families sold for in the area through the MLS (consumer side), Zillow, Realtor.com, etc. 

Hello BP,I have been reading a lot of articles about the concerns of renters and landlords when the various eviction moratorium expire, but its seem to me landlords also need to be concerned with changing the consumer debt collection law.

It will be time consuming and frustrating as it’s not a good first-timers drywall project... but that’ll give you the result you want.

Binge listen to podcasts and consume forum information.

As we enter 2020 consumers are wondering if it’s a good time to buy?

@Jake Peetz if you are correct and you do experience rent appreciation then your cash-flow will increase over time and you will be fine as long as your finances are healthy and you have some solid reserves to protect your ability to hold the property.

That could change if the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) lobbies to change the timeline but that remains to be seen.

That is true of many necessary positions in every healthy and growing company, but workers are necessary to grow. 

Not so much if you are trying to buy a house).In addition, inflation is typically measured using the consumer price index, of which housing only makes up about 23%, so it's not a 1:1 correlation - an increase in the price of bread, or milk, or gasoline, or clothing, or movie tickets directly effects the CPI.

It's very time consuming managing even 2 houses at once.
