Quote from @Jessica Yuan: Hey fellow ohio investors, I'm looking at the median sale price for Columbus properties and saw an interesting trend.

Here are some key highlights from the report, which compares September 2025 with September 2024:The median sales price in the City of Austin decreased 6% to $550,000, while the greater Austin metro declined 1.8% to $420,000, reflecting mild year-over-year softening after a long stretch of stability.Closed sales increased 16.6% in Austin to 837 transactions, and rose 6.7% across the metro to 2,416.

I come from an immigrant household where I saw my father working 6-7 days a week, yet still showing up to every soccer game, school function, and family dinner, and still go from being an employee to employer through pure work ethic & integrity.

If you feel an average you are using is high (example, the data tool says the median listings are doing 75% occupancy for the month of october) maybe consider projecting in your revenue calculations a 65% occupancy number to be safe.Ultimately, be sure your looking at comparable properties to your property that have similar design, amenities, etc so that you get accurate averages for your ADR and occupancy rate projections. 

We’re getting married in May 2026, but I’m hoping to buy before then because Missouri’s First Place Program offers below-market interest rates for first-time buyers who make under $96k household income.

Insurance costs, property taxes, and inflation are eating into household budgets.  

In August 2025, Grayslake home prices were up 23.3% compared to last year, selling for a median price of $370K.

Renting is now cheaper than the national average for price compared with median income.

Brutal......A few weeks ago I had some turd from Brandon's company contacting me about some of my properties, said he was the acquisition manager or something of that sort, I talked to him for a little but out of respect for Brandon but I could tell the kid had no idea what he was doing.It's a shame Brandon made his name here on this site and he doesn't come back onto the forums and discuss all of these issues with these people, like damn bro, you were literally the face of this company for like 10 years and you can't even address investors losing all their money on the very site that made you a household name.
