The worst time to buy a rental property?
I've been researching about BRRR and rental properties in general, and looks like in my area (Acworth, GA) single family homes that are being listed in the price range I can afford (175-220k) have a rental price of around 1300-1500 when you shop around for similar homes online, so when I run my numbers on them, including repairs, vacancy, capEx, taxes, and all that stuff, it turns out they would be cash flowing 150$ in the best cases, and the rental market doesn't seems to allow higher rents, so, what am I missing out? Why there are all these $225+ homes being rented for around 0.6% of their value? How are those landlords even covering costs? I'm a 23 year old looking to invest into real estate but all this got me really confused
