maximize your cash flows and reinvest. Money is way too cheap right now not to maximize this, plus it gives you additional cushion just in case.

As Billy Smith suggested.. Be careful of the students damaging your property. My mother works maintenance at UMass in the dorms and she says those kids make a flipping mess despite threats of being written up or fined. Though, I have a friend who rents a multi exclusively to students and she has little problems. She rents primarily to girls, has an ironclad rental agreement signed, takes a large security deposit and visits the building often. So it's a good strategy just take every precaution. If you are offering a clean, safe place for the students to live that their parents feel good about you should have no problem keeping it occupied.

 Renting primarily to girls is generally illegal... At least the intent

higher cap rate isn't always better, I haven't looked at either but chamberlyne in Richmond va typically the hood

So you get a higher cap rate because the investment is riskier but also most likely faces less potential for appreciation

as an agent and an investor, what I recommend in the future when using an agent you should just sign the buyers representation agreement for specific properties they bring to you. So the agent will still get paid for any work they do for you, but you aren't limited to just the properties on the mls

i was a stockbroker in the late 90's when everyone was buying internet stocks, taking 2nd mortgages to get cash to invest so they didn't miss the run.. we know how that turned out. 15 years later the NASDAQ just hit 5k again....

My opinion is the Class b- and C multi fam investors will be the ones that will feel it the most in the next correction. You can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day, its still a pig

Curious why lower income rentals would feel the correction harder? In theory b and c would have higher cap rates and cash flow then class a. I would imagine as the economy slips you'd end up with more lower income renters and demand would actually increase, at least relative to class a

I am starting to see a good deal more multi family and commercial building in my areas. But I focus on cash flow, account for rising interest over time (IRR), and plan on continuing to buy multis for the next year or two

Rising interest rates also make it more expensive for owner occupants to buy

Valid point Mark. It's always a risk reward consideration though. Not to mention, cap rates in neighboring counties are north of 7%. It seems like the main play for this investor is to hope for appreciation. Just seems like a sign of where we are in the market cycle right now to me. 

 To the investor I am talking about "appreciation" would be the least inviting of the benefits I listed. The more you can see, the farther you can go. I gave you some very profitable information if you can mine it. 

Appreciation means nothing if you never plan on selling the property.

Growing up I met a lot of millionaires that  people laughed at, because of the jobs they had and the vehicles they drove and the way they dressed. They never could see that these people could have bought and sold them.

Can cash out refi appreciation and reinvest it. And never sell the property

generally you shouldn't describe deals in baltimore as "killer"

mixed meanings
