I am working on putting together a comprehensive resource list for prospective buyers, focusing on options to help them navigate the challenges of higher interest rates, rising monthly payments, and increased competition.Could you share some of the mortgage products or strategies you are currently using to assist buyers with these hurdles?

Ideally, you'd want to have signed leases from each tenant, but the strategy part of it is that you also wanna make sure that you don't run people away while you are either increasing rent or preparing any units that are currently vacant.I would probably take a step-by-step approach.

Remodel while the property is still in your name to increase its basis, which can reduce future capital gains taxes, and take advantage of the capital gains tax exclusion if you sell within three years (up to $250K for single filers or $500K for married couples).

Even if there isn't there is talk about privatizing Freddie and Fannie, so if that happens, I would certainly not expect rate cuts and would probably expect rate increases as private investors probably want better ROI.So with those things in mind, might just be time to sell #1.
