High-interest rates mean fewer people buying, rent prices will remain strong for a few more years.

Do you normally set up a non-interest acct for security deposits and separate accts for each property to collect rent?

Quote from @Jaron Walling:

@Matt Allen Unless the location is questionable, the property is a disaster, or you can't swing the $15k... I'd BUY. Trim the fat off the rehab budget (were you can) and you'll be fine.


 The location is ok, its a historic property with 20+ years of deferred maintenance.

Quote from @Matthew Kwan:

I mean if you have the liquidity of cash and $10k-15k cant even rehab a full unit now with the labor and materials all soaring...I would go for it! Especially acquiring a multi family is a prime state is no easy task boss.

@Carlos Valencia @Albert Bui 


 I Budgeted 40k it's coming in around 50-55k

I’m under contract for a triplex that needs 10-15k more Reno than i budgeted, it should still cash flow 2-300 a month.  BUT…. It is a double lot that I can build a 2-4 unit on in a decent area.

At what point is it considered to be over leveraged? Quote from @Jaron Walling:

@Matt Allen Congrats man! Love your responses here. Don't over leverage and follow the basics like @Nathan Gesner mentioned and you'll crush it. Can't go wrong with that market.

I would have them deposit the cash at your bank or open an account at their bank?  Quote from @George Habator:
Thanks for the replies. I spoke to the tenant and they said will pay in cash or nothing else. Can i file eviction over non payment if they want to pay in only cash?
