Decreased living expenses4.

I would think that doing a large amount of doors and windows would give you a price decrease as they do not have travel time to get to the job for just one or two doors or windows.  

The only way to make more money is decrease cost or increase income.

@Mike RodriguezSomethings to be mindful based on your options.Option 1 doesn't sound so great as you think the value is at its peak meaning you think the value will stay flat or decrease in value. 

Did avg market rent increase or decrease 22-23?

My goal for my first property is solely to decrease my net "rent" (i.e. off-set my rent burn via equity build-up).

This is also basically flat from last month.So, while appreciation has slowed significantly, median home prices have yet to show a year-over-year decrease.

Why invest in a city that is decreasing?

In fact, part of my negotiation wat that the house decreases the value by $10,000 because I have to tear the other building down.

Although not everyone you meet online can be trusted, with some due diligence and common sense best business practices, I've found that I've been able to decrease the risk of meeting the wrong contacts.
