I will agree with most of my colleagues here.Your pictures are horrible and don’t show the property correctly.They are dark and taken with a narrow lens (probably a smartphone) and cut off half the rooms making them look smaller and cramped.Toilet lids should be down in pictures and you should be able to see the entire bathroom.You need a professional photographer to get that job done right.You’re most likely overpriced and making your competition look better to buyers.Also,in your Craigslist add you said only prequalified buyers may see the property.That’s a huge mistake and it’s going to cost you.Agents like myself insist on previewing the homes first to decide if our buyers will want to look at it.According to your ad,we can’t so we will bypass your property and move on to the properties that do cooperate with us.Quite frankly, unless our buyers accidentally stumble upon your property on their own,it’s not going to be shown to them for a while,if ever.The agents have no incentive to work with you.At 2.5% and no fellow agent listing the property to work with,you will be at the bottom of every agent’s list of potential properties to show.

Bottom line is condos having HOAs and special assessments simply can not cash flow.

While the question on this post is about the US whether we are heading towards a cliff, the big question  in Dubai is whether we have hit the bottom or not yet. 

It is at a peak in some cases and areas.Investors typically buy just a few that are still deals in the hot markets and then either change asset classes more at the bottom to buy or wait until the markets go down and gobble up a bunch then.You never just buy to buy in a market people say "can't lose".  

To get year round activity on Airbnb, you need to be close to downtown SLC.

The absolute best thing to help your bottom line and time line, especially with subs is to pay on time.

They are a huge part of the population thats right on the edge of retirement .Most would have retired already if it were not for the economy and the real estate bubble burst ..Of course the appreciation we are experiencing here and a lot of places is due in large part to the fact that houses and properties 2 years ago were at close to the bottom in value as they could get ..So , we are showing appreciation at as high as 18% in some parts of florida .. 

Bottom line is I think this is a great location for me but a marginal deal.
