I like your photos too, the flat looks very nice and modern. 

Some really high end apartments going up too.

Hi Benjamin, I use FF too.

I’ve been looking closer at stale MLS properties too — the 30+ day mark is definitely a sweet spot for softer sellers. 

When they were cutting two massive pine trees right at the edge of the front lawn (steep erosion-prone slope, ends in a cliff-like drop), they dropped each trunk in halves — and each half is the size of a full large tree.

The 4s are what tend to cash flow best, sometimes 3 work too, the 2s mainly just work for owner occupants.

really depends on where you live and want to work this sub 2 model and were we are at in the economic cycle.. in hard times this works far better as more people are willing to sell you houses with little down and sub too.. the rub comes with getting your glorified renter to acutally cash you out..

@Jules Aton I agree, Ocean City looks affordable compared to other beach towns, but the seasonal demand give us pause too.

And you’re right, I kind of deserved mine too.

Home Improvements:Here are some pending home improvement projects in the priority order I've come up with:Grading to mitigate intense backyard erosion (no gutters) which caused fencing to lean significantly (diy for $300)Landscaping for curb/backyard appeal ($700 diy)Termite stations with baith for 12 months ($1200)Fascia/ Trim replacement ($3000 trim is rotting and I don't want it to get worse and hit the beams)Gutters ($2,000)Fencing ($4,000 I need to get very stable posts that will withstand problematic clay soil on a slope)Roof ($7,000 it's the OG 2007 roof and every inspector I've had come out says that insurance probably wouldn't pay for a new roof because it's so old) Rodent exclusion ($1,200 evidence of activity in attic)HVAC replacement ($5,000 been paying for frion to be refilled that's leaked out once a year for 2 yrs but home warranty won't replace the actual unit, they do have a discount though) This has worked so far and I may do this another year to address the things above first.Long story: From 4/1/23-1/1/24 I either rented out or Airbnb'ed the two guest rooms while working remotely.
