Inflation in tenant build-out costs during the past several years has also added pressure to lease economics.

They continued to pressure me until I closed the door.I have a raised foundation apartment and the original floor heater has been removed, so essentially I have a big hole in my floor with a grate and some black paper under it.

Not sure I'd want that pressure of making a hasty decision to purchase a less-than-decent property just to avoid cap gains. 

remodeled 1 bathroom, and planning to add a roof mounted solar assembly to completely eliminate our electrical costs What was the outcome?

The ones that had high grade pressure sensitive adhesive have held up great.

I'm thinking of investing in the Rocky Mount, NC area.

They dont pressure you to buy more loans like Kondaur and Granite used to do.

If you don’t have any need to sell, put the pressure back on them.

If interest rates fall it is one factor that puts upward pressure on home prices.
