The reason for this, is that it is not 10X more expensive to operate a $1,000,000 home in a really nice location than a similar home in a not-so-desirable location.

@Justin Hertzog If you had a guaranteed income that totally supported your desired lifestyle and adjusted with inflation, you wouldn't NEED to work or save for the future, right?

Hey BP, I'm getting into new construction and I'm curious if it will be more desirable to build a 4bdrm house with the master on the first floor?  

I for one believe that the real estate courses I took in graduate school, as well as the courses I took as a requirement for my Brokers license, were FAR MORE VALUABLE than any of the “light weight” instruction disguised as education on social media, guru workshops, or teaser best seller books.  

As far as a bad rating, I can only imaging how much weight they carry.

I own an multi-family unit in an undesirable location and one of the things you need to realize is that your potential renters will be significantly decreased to those that don't mind living in an area that is not so desirable.

If your desire to avoid government influence and/or taxes determines what you do for a living or where you live or how you live your life, then you are giving the government control your life.

This is the Bywater area, It did not get flooded in Katrina so the area is definitely desired just because of that.
