Hi Veteran Investors,

I am keep hearing from lenders that they are saying "you can alway refinance!". 

 I wonder if its true ? What about for example 2008 when bank were not giving loans ? 

Can you explain under which conditions you cant refinance ?

I don't think it works like this

Different markets will adjust differently


 I do think each state has their own 18 year cycle. But there is def cycle for each state.


 the cycle is actually a Fed rate cycle so it's all global, demand/supply are very different now in every city/state. Extremely varies.


TY! Do you mind to share your tactics/lesson to understand for a given state where are they in the cycle ?

Anyone heard of 18 years cycle ?

Based on that 2026 will be the peak and house prices will drop significantly.

Any thoughts ? Anyone used these analysis over the last 20 years

Orhi


 It is not 18 years but 14 years, but i would affect commercial only this time.
we already had cycle of downturn in resi between Q3 2022 to Q4 2022, that would be the last and beginning of new cycle.


Ty for sharing you your thoughts! Correct 14 to the peak and 4 years down!  Why you think it affect only commercial ?

I don't see the downturn in some markets like Memphis or NY for single fam. Any thoughts ?

6802 Sabinal was my second purchase. This property was introduced to me by my wife's amazing father, Keith Andrews, who is also an investor, realtor, and BRRRR mastermind. He introduced me to the not so known, "VA assumable loan." I was able to Assume this 250k property off of another active duty service member who was PCSing and falling behind on his payments. So we offered a VA assumable loan in which I Assumed his mortgage while getting a killer interest rate of 3.25%! Every investor knows that a 3% rate will most likely never be seen again in our lifetime, so this SFH will be a cash cow for years to come!

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I wanted to find a 2nd property to invest in that will cash flow greatly for the rest of my life

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Keith Andrews found this deal for me in San Antonio Texas while living all the way in Colorado Springs!

How did you finance this deal?

VA Assumable Loan

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For anybody living in the Colorado Springs area, Keith Andrews is and should be your only guy to work with!


 Hey Christian, is this your primary home or you are going to use it as a rental income ?

Hey Investors,

Do you buy home warranty for your rental ?

For example: 


I thought this can be a good way to avoid big repair cost for old homes.

Thanks,

Orhi

Quote from @Rick Albert:

It depends on what your goals are. Technically house hacking is living on the property and renting out rooms/units to subsidize your living arrangements. That can be done anywhere.

I'm on my second house hack in Los Angeles. I have been able to leverage these properties to expand my portfolio. It is because California is known for its appreciation and leveraging equity to buy more.

I invest out of state as well, but for house hacking, I actually prefer higher costs areas (LA, NY, SF, Miami, etc.). A 3% increase in appreciation or even rents is a higher dollar amount than if you were to house hack in a low cost area. Again, depends on your goals and lifestyle. Nothing wrong with those other markets, but it is something to think about.


 How are you finding those deal ? i am very much interested in LA market.
