.), giving you perspective that most residential agents simply don’t have.They operate statewide and even nationally, and they have a network of experienced vendors at your disposal.  

I don't like replacing goods over and over and I'd prefer not to contribute more to the "most things are disposable" mindset (which is why turnover for items such as dishwashers, washer/dryer, fridges, etc. frustrates me because they don't build to last anymore). 

If Versity took control of over $500M in assets and then disposed of all the properties, they could net $22.5M even if investors get wiped out. 

Whether they haul it to the station or hire a service is on them as long as they’re disposing of it properly.

You probably have 100 more REI strategies at your disposal than the lower income levels.  

For example if you're in your 20s and have high income you could maybe take more risks than if you're in your 30s/40s with kids at home with a less disposable income. 

@Michael Santeusaniomy learning lesson is have way more money at your disposal then you think you need. 

Almost no applications.The applicants who do apply are slow, hesitant, and shopping 10 other options.Backouts are way higher, people flake because there are 100 other units they can jump to.Inventory is stacked in most submarkets.Even with concessions like ½ month free or 1 month free, lease-ups are still crawling.And yet… I still see landlords acting like every applicant is disposable and they can move at the speed of a DMV.It’s crazy to me.In our company, we’ve had to shift our entire approach.We’re treating leasing like a sales funnel, because that’s what it is right now:Inquiry → Showing → Application → Approval → Deposit → Move-inMaximize leadsFollow up oftenMove people to the next stepReduce friction everywhere we canTreat applicants like actual customers, not a nuisanceBecause whether people like it or not, tenants suddenly have the power.More options.

In fact, the cost of a mortgage as a percentage of disposable income is rising, yes.
