I didn't hear this from Buyers, but I personally am tired of seeing it.The previous 3 years we strictly did the grey/white, but now thats out least built color scheme.

I would add that you can go a long way just having some clean color schemes (two wall colors and one trim color will do almost any house) and a few tasteful accent pieces. 

I definitely agree that rent by the room is awesome for increasing cash flow - again, it does come with it's headaches but with the higher risk comes higher reward (I've been doing it for almost 3 years now, it's really the only way to make the numbers work with little cash down on properties).From my personal experience, talking to others at meetups, and reading this post, I think there's definitely demand for specialized rent by the room property management.

It’s easy to find tenants, population/jobs are increasing, and property taxes/insurance aren’t skyrocketing. 

Also considering live and flip, or make our first home we buy an opportunity to increase our income as well (renting basement or part of the unit).

Now, if the borrower made payments for 9 months, defaulted again and you said you'd take 94,652, that's a horse of a different color.

I’ve used seller financing as both a buyer and a seller and it can make a lot of sense in certain circumstances (for example I used it as a buyer when I reached the maximum number of conventional loans I could get, and I’ve used it as a seller to both increase my net proceeds (due to collecting interest as “the bank” in addition to the sales proceeds) and to lessen my capital gains tax hit by spreading it out over a few years).

Is anyone seeing a sizable increase in pre-foreclosures in their market yet?

I could ask him what today's date is, or what his favorite color is, and that's how he would respond.) 

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.
