Post: Price Increases limiting returns - time to do something else?

This is a tough question, and very individual as to the solution. Sounds like you have done well, but may be too young to "retire" and just keep up with your properties as an activity. I agree that prices have gotten stupid, and we don't seem to see any deals worth pursuing lately, and there also is a glut of people bidding things up if the deal is worth considering. For the time being, we are sitting tight and enjoying some travel and golf, but always open to looking at the right property. That's how I deal with it! :-)

I live in florida....bug central! I have quarterly outside treatments done on all SFHs. Normally, when I turn a house, I will call and ask for indoor treatment to start off new tenant right. They don't typically charge me for those. I pay $77 per property quarterly. They will also treat indoors if anyone needs it, but I  have found that quarterly outdoor sprays keep bugs out and I've not ever had anyone request indoor treatment.

I track 4/5 properties in excel as they happen. Don't really see a need for Quick books for me.

Click lock vinyl goes down easy over concrete or other material. It is a floating floor....Allure is the brand I believe. Inexpensive and durable.

I've seen 10% and up to 20%. Higher numbers should justify lower percentage.
