Getting new business is your number one priority. 

In addition, evaluate how old and in what condition are these components for each property.Each of these components has a typical life expectancy that will vary by market area.  

Just where does real estate fit in your priority mix?

me i'm openminded and know everyone's priorities are different ie a father of 5 kids i admire he put their education funds first, over what he does or doesnt 'own'; but just wondered if brokers are sometimes evaluated by peers along such lines as owning vs renting.seems to me lately alot of acquaintances around exude bountiful success and throw around huge volume numbers but sometimes when given a look an inside look at their assets either some are hidden, lots of $$$ is being spent on overhead/expansions, and/or ppl nowadays somehow generally r spending beyond their means no matter what income bracket?!

I've been paralyzed a bit financially the past 3-4 years with some major life changes (marriage, child and many unexpected expenses/bills, nothing frivolous, murphy's law struck quite a bit...among other things) lets just say i wanted to ramp up 3-4 years ago but had to put it aside for other items on my plate that required a higher priority, back on track now.As for duplexes here - there are not good ones to choose from, rather ones I'd be willing to own very rarely come for sale.  

Comps vary by street and appraisers are very careful in this area and very conservative and low ball appraisals all the time.

Do your teams or your model vary at all depending on the market?
