So, right after 2007 the bottom fell out and it was really bad for what felt like forever, but within a decade the market so thoroughly "healed" that it was well above the pre-collapse heights.In the words of some ancient Chinese proverb, or @Brandon Turner, "the best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago. 

We got lucky, it was a new construction, and we bought in 2012 at the bottom.

What if the leak was undetected for a while and caused additional damages to the cabinet sides and bottom and the flooring below? 

That means a credit check, which will be a small ding on the credit score - and if the buyer is on the bubble credit wise, it could blow up the entire sale.Buyers tend to be pretty neutral about panels unless they're mounted on the front of the house, in which case I'll get some complaints about the aesthetics.

For mid to low range renters, keep it clean, neutral, and inexpensive.

Hidden fees are Huge in the property management business, so those are also important to get to the bottom of before you sign on a company.

And I've had to deal with litigious people and cheap time wasters doing home inspections.I prefer being the owner or investor, but since I've been on the bottom, I understand that contractors deserve respect and the chance to make a living.

This means you can use the inflation trend to predict where the market will bottom out next, and anticipate when the best time to buy will be. 

We got a couple of noise complaints but that was it, as I informed the top tenant to be mindful of the bottom tenant and that was that. 

If you have an agent who is in the bottom 94%, kick them to the curb and get one who can act faster (either themselves or by systems they have established) and who have an ethical north star that is stronger than you and them both!
