While it is important, I rank it as far less critical than providing amazing value to boost income.  .Income is going to be the greatest driving factor. 

Pete has changed dramatically over the last decade.

Obviously at sale time a few dramatic, larger scale, healthy flowering plants - either in a pot on the porch or next to the pillar/door (begonias if they will work in your area, baskets of red/white & blue petunias, crackerjack marigolds or large Zinnias/Dalias).

Going from 5.5 to 5 fed funds will not be a big boost as people think, especially not after another 5-7 months of 5.5%.

You can get to your goal faster if you hustle, make more dramatic changes, invest in riskier things.

Implemented correctly, UBI is not a threat to capitalism, it is a massive boost to capitalism.Imagine a more intelligent, more entrepreneurial populace who are now able to take more risks, start more companies, and work on more passion projects because they don't have to devote 100% of their psychological and physiological energy to ensuring their family does not starve to death.https://www.businessinsider.com/poverty-effect-on-intelligence-2013-8https://www.newscientist.com/article/2193136-universal-income-study-finds-money-for-nothing-wont-make-us-work-less/Like it or not, some form of UBI is the future.

So their thought is to drop now , give the economy a little boost then start to raise again down the road.

Agree that the prices have risen dramatically - especially the land - but the numbers are still quite strong so I'll continue investing so long as the numbers make sense.

If I find something better, I change....if I don't, I stay.Don't ever believe ANY company that says everyone else is dramatically raising their prices too.... it may be true or it may be complete BS to trick you into just staying put.

@Lisa Hartza 'cosmetic' rehab probably won't be enough to be a good BRRRR because you won't be able to boost the ARV enough to make it worth it.and like @Eliott Elias said, i have a hard enough time managing my rehabs that are close to me.
