For a rental property, i have to choose between 1 BR apartment in a city I love and have a relationship with, but a very expensive city ($300k apt)—OR a not nice city I’ve never been to, twice less expensive ($150k), but both have the same rental income ($1,000/m). Rational thinking would go for the 2nd one. Am I being crazy for wanting the first one? Part of me wants to give it to my son who might study there, or have it for myself in case smthg happens. Advice on how to approach this?

I have a rental property and my tenant is asking me to change the fridge light burb. I live out of state and don’t have property manager locally. Is it bad if I ask them to change the fridge light burb themselves?

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in. Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

I would like to learn more about development and real estate. Can anyone recommend any books or courses that you think are informative. Eventually I would like to own a few apartment buildings, but I know there is a lot I need to learn 1st. Any advice appreciated.
