Whether it's policies on taxes, interest rates, housing affordability, or potential regulatory changes, it seems like elections always bring uncertainty to the markets.For those of you who’ve been investing through previous election cycles, what trends have you noticed in terms of property prices, mortgage rates, or investor sentiment?

@Leo R.All my tenants come from Zillow, apartments.com, and affordable housing.com.

There are separate entrances and exits.I’ve decided to design them pretty much identically, minus a couple decor and furniture items. 

I gutted it and added new drywall, new light fixtures, new bathrooms, new paint, new kitchen, new furniture and new flooring and new windows.

I’m intrigued by the idea of providing affordable housing while generating steady rental income, but I’m still in the research phase and have a few questions:Is investing in Section 8 housing a good idea?

There ain't no value in shares in a turnkey company that can't afford to pay it's mortgages.

Unless you have a specific need for a trust, many DSCR borrowers just create one or multiple LLCs for the loans (this has gotten to a point where it is very easy and affordable to create LLCs, especially in TX)BP-Published DSCR Guide!

Of course, this means I'm taking all the risks but I can afford because I'm in control and I can trust the people I work with.

So, because of this a lot of the "affordable" condos you will see in DFW have financial issues and you cannot get a mortgage loan on them, and have to pay cash. or, maybe get some sort of non conventional financing that is much more expensive requiring 25%+ down. 

I have worked with many experienced investors from Southern California, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, Denver, and other large metro areas in the southwest and west coast, with seasoned investors that still live in all of those great cities but have shifted most of their real estate investments out of those higher cost or higher risk markets into ours. 1) Compared to most cities in the SW and West, home prices in the Albuquerque metro are relatively affordable.
