Occupancy is down slightly from the last two years as the Covid effect has worn off, but average nightly rates are up. 

Ours is the last Thursday of the month and there will be an Event posted on BP here under local events.

The area around the properties have really grown over the last 20 years, and has been cleaned up quite a bit.

Unless you've lived in it two of the last 5 years, in which case you would not need to do a 1031 exchange.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) last year For Sale By Owners (FSBO) properties in the US sold for 26% less than those listed with a licensed agent.

I’ve used 0% for a year credit cards to buy houses several times (just did one last month-lol).

The last method seems to be the most practical for me if I can just get the right deal and makes the most financial sense to reduce my overall expenses in the long-term.

No taxes if your primary residence 2 of the last 5 years.  2.  

Electric water heaters last longer, but cost more to run.They don't build them like they used to.

I have had clients that did not know this house was vacant 4 months caught fire burnt to the ground .. first thing the adjuster does is interview the neighbors and ask when was the last time anyone was living there.. so same thing here with the freeze you need builders risk / vacant home rider  in these situations.
