I believe the BRRRR strategy is alive and well, but it definitely does not grow on trees like it might be made out to seem from some social media influencers.

If so, can you point me to the company you used and let me know how much it cost you (or at least some indication of the cost per tree)Thank you

If you get any growth-- that is the cherry on top.

Keeping the outside condenser unit clean is also something I prefer to do especially when the coils get coated with dust, cotton wood & sooty mold from old trees. 

A number of blog posts or other investor type websites will tend to cherry pick headline results from a court case or private letter ruling, without properly diving into all the nuance that actually came out of that decision that may only apply to very narrow sets of circumstances. 

We added some accent hardwoods in a dark cherry recently along with the dark carpet and it really is an eye catcher.edit: the home we live in was built in 2007 and was a parade of homes winner and it has a relatively dark carpet matched with golden oak hardwoods and a bunch of earthtone wall colors, which works quite well.editx2: don't reinvent the wheel.

You have a 1031 exchange, (that might get chopped under the Biden administration) but you have it for now. you have 180 days to close under the 1031 and must identify a property in 45 days. there is also a percentage rule that applies too and i cant think of them right now but in essence it prevents you from just hurrying up and "cherry picking" a random property just to end the 45 day clock or the 180 day clock. you get equity in REI that you can leverage, you get loan paydown (which increases your credit score and reputation at a bank), and finally you CAN get appreciation if you buy right.
