step 1 is buying a distressed property at a great price, which is really tough to do right now, and way harder than it was 5 or 10 years ago. 

Hey Ian, Tough to say without an official Loan estimate.

Without seeing more details, it's tough to go into the weeds. 

Might be tough from area to area, but I typically find that homes built before 1950 that were converted from single to multi family are 9 times out of ten - a full gut rehab and way too expensive for first timers.

Hello! I have a client who is selling her executive townhouse for $349900. She has dropped the price over $25K over 90 days and still no offers. There are 5 other units in the same complex for sale-ours is the lowest ...

In PA because its is so $ss backward and tough to do I would think if you put the time in you probably score some decent deals.. but holy cow.. there are just easier places to work than there. 

The ones I have grandfathered in, I can get funded no problem, but a new Foreign Investor is a tough placement right now. 

That’s pretty tough to find in other places right now.The city’s seen some positive growth, too—2023 was the first year in nearly 70 years where the US Census showed a slight population uptick in Detroit.

The ILA is North America’s largest longshoremen’s union, with roughly 50,000 of its 85,000 members making good on the threat to strike at 14 major ports subject to a just-expired master contract with the United States Maritime Alliance, or USMX, and picketing workers beginning to appear at ports.I have been reading that if the strike drags on, we can expect some shortages on perishable items that the US imports.One of those is bananas; the US imports 100% of its supply.

It’s definitely a tough decision and it seems like the market is hard to find any deals right now.
