I choose one that gave me 100% commission with low monthly fees, that didn't require a lot, if any, face or office time, no pressure to do anything but did offer training in all aspects of being broker if you wanted.

I'm guessing it won't stop the general upward pressure on values and rent. 

'Ignoring your vacancy' - He means even though your property is sitting vacant for 1-3 months and you just want to fill it with a tenant, ignore that pressure and wait until a GOOD tenant comes along.Hagerstown reminds me of a lower key version of Baltimore.

Id preferably live in the unfinished 4th unit, I have cash to buy it, Id be using all my savings so pressure is on.

I vote that it's not worth the investment and most people side with some type of pressure-treated wood because it will still give you plenty of years (though not as many as steel) and the additional maintenance does not add up to the initial upfront cost of steel. 

Last time, we pressure washed the houses (they wanted $175 each home), painted outdoor porch railings and exterior doors, stained the decks, etc.  

With the nation hovering around only 1.0m of housing starts annually, the supply demand curve pointed towards continued upward pressure on prices.

I use truair or Schumacher registers in order to manage static pressure plus I add more returns to alleviate the poor air exchanges.

Buying a first property is challenging because after listening to a year's worth of podcasts, I feel the pressure of choosing the right property and right strategy! 

Not as much pressure to BRRRR or sell in this instance.
