Fundamentally, I want a balance between an efficient, market-rate park and tenants who are happy and comfortable.

You'll also get access to off market deals that typically have less competition. 

When you do renovate, what are the long-term plans with it to have it stand out in such a popular market?

To be "bullet proof," diversity is key ESPECIALLY when investing in one sub-market.

As an investor, your primary goal is probably to buy at the lowest price (you make your money when you buy at below market value), fix it up, and either hold or sell/flip.The seller might realize they "don't know what they don't know"....in general, investors sometimes come across as "transactional" (they ran the numbers, and just want a yes or no from the seller). 

In a free market the rents would reflect the scarcity of a great product but the government tries to meddle in the free market which at least in the short term increases the scarcity. 

Airbnb- house go off the market for housing.  

I'd also recommend dumping the garages there's almost a total loss on that unless you are putting units above them on a dense infill lot for additional units it's not worth the cost of construction. build cost is pretty high for your market for three story suburban walk ups. we could never build at that price and make any money. suburban sells for 160k a door in our market with land. get on yardi make sure you Arne't going to lose money on it.

Hi @Kathleen Park - In my opinion, any type of HOA fee should be paid for by the housing provider, but if you want to account for it in the rent (if the market allows), then increase the rent by $100.What does this TAP program do, and what's the purpose of it?

Is anyone here looking into opportunities in Markets in Europe (Portugal, Spain, etc)?
