There is still very high demand in many markets with rates coming down and lower than normal inventory..

However every people and every city has its own intricacies, what's normal in area X doesn't mean it's the normal in area Y. 

It’s not rocket science but it’s definitely something that takes experience and skin in the game! 

Normally when someone makes their first post and says they found a deal, it's not a deal.

How long after the disaster will the value and marketability come back to normal?

They are properties circulated to long lists of unsophisticated buyers and if you are the highest offer you’ve likely outbid a bunch of prospective buyers who underestimated their improvement costs or overestimated their ARV while most likely  proceeding without the ability to perform normal transaction diligence.

I think the current rates are more normal. 

One of the side benefits is that the tenants now have skin in the game so to speak, and my gas bills have gone down a bit.What kind of heating system do you have in your property?

These are normally the same investors who are preparing 12 tab excel spread sheets for their $100k BRRRR single family’s…..yeah they’re over compensating. 

The irony...the party of tolerance being intolerant. insurance is always a bouncing ball.. my insurance in Lake Oswego and we have no fire risk other than normal No weather risk  just risk of winter gloom and depression.
