There are many reasons for the price disparities, everything from location (the hills are usually a few degrees warmer year-round, and above the ice fog), neighbors (typically a Sanford and Sons type hoarding houses randomly about....so nice houses go up next to what looks like a junkyard), no real building codes, so pretty much anything goes, etc. 

So the bottom line is it all depends on the custodian where the money is coming from.

I think that it still needs more of the  caulking at the bottom of the wall (The special acoustical caulking that comes with green glue).  

If your property is energy efficient and you can keep wasteful behaviour in-check, your bottom line could be a little higher.

The bottom line is: even though you can get the write offs INSIDE a retirement account I still find it not as valuable as holding RE outside.

You need to make money, so if the repairs you made/will make are hurting your bottom line then raise rents when you legally can. 

The bottom line is we just need someone who will take care of the house and pay on time.

You sound like @Aaron Mazzrillo and other crazy investors who believe there's some food on the table year round, in every cycle..

But creating an inviting experience for the tenant ultimately adds to the bottom line because you can charge more in rent and get more stable tenants.

Every successful investor began at the bottom of the totem pole, so keep that in mind when you feel behind.
