Markets shift, expenses rise, and if you’re not running your numbers regularly, you might be holding onto something for emotional reasons — not financial ones.Curious to hear from others:Have any of you pivoted from short-term rentals back to long-term holds or sold off a property because the math stopped working?

Welcome to the world of investing, and props to you for doing the homework early, that makes a huge difference.

Sounds like you’ve done your homework.

The math works a lot better in median priced neighborhoods, but that of course  conflicts with the cash flow centric approach.Understood.But actualy the point that I want to assert is that the valuation of Milwaukee is supported by people income.In 53208/53209, Median income there is 100k.

If you don't want to do the homework, there is yet another option - hire an abstractor or law student at about $50/hr to do the above for you and just get the spreadsheet from them.
