Cities with high growth AV not %(skewed) that could attract more than one industry.

If you want to attract buyers I would suggest dropping price to 269kWe bought at 272k… and owe 259k.

So, tenants will typically be attracted to a newer rental vs older - all else being the same.- Reality though, is that "all else" is rarely the same as most new homes are built in subdivisions - so, location compared to an older home will be different.Biggest difference is deferred maintenance.Most owners allow their SFR properties to degrade over time to maximize cashflow.

For me, it’s easier to make up the difference by having a fuller calendar rather than playing around with exact fee offsets.I’d rather price competitively so I stay attractive in search results and let volume carry the revenue.

Personally, I like to see signs of organic population growth rather than speculative vacation traffic, because when people are moving in for jobs and schools it usually means steady long-term rental demand; on the flip side, I’d be cautious about towns that look attractive just because they’re “near the water,” since insurance costs and flood maps can change quickly, and that can eat into cash flow if you’re not careful.

The city has been adding new affordable housing and investing in neighborhoods, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.Overall, the Double Track rail project is making all of NW Indiana more attractive to Chicago commuters, which is good news if you’re holding or flipping near those lines.

Renting the basement as is could work, but keep in mind that unfinished spaces with limited access to kitchen and bathroom might limit how much you can charge and the type of tenant you attract.

While searching for the tax optimizing strategy, the real estate professional status seems attractive.

Rent-ready homes attract the best tenants, who tend to stay longer, ultimately saving you money in the long run.

If you’re doing STRs or MTRs, location and amenities definitely matter because tenant demand is tied to things like hospitals, outdoor attractions, and travel patterns.
