@Chris SeveneyI think those that took short term debt, trying to extend their terms, and now that the 10 yr has shot up, it's gonna be very interesting.

I am currently under contract for a property, and my inspection period has just expired.

In US tax law, the depreciable lifespan of an asset is defined by its MACRS classification which stands for “Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System.”Under MACRS, depreciable assets are assigned to different classes, with each class having a specific recovery period.

It sounds more like you want to do work for a short time and have success without knowing much.

I've been on this platform for many years and, over the years, I've seen new members linked or part to Mexican real estate agencies posting educational content about investing in Mexico out of the blue shortly after becoming new members and then disappear as they realized that their efforts wasn't giving them the amount of business they were hoping for.

@Nick Rivers, where do you feel you are coming up short?  

The lock-in effect of the period from 2016-2022 when interest rates were super low, causing owners with those low rates to not want to sell? 

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

For what it's worth, I went through 5 different property managers in 2 different markets (one local, one out of state) over a period of 5 years, before deciding I would self-manage everything across both geographies beginning last year.

Keep it short and respectful of their time, and offer to meet in person if they’re open to it.Join Tacoma-specific Facebook groups.
