that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Lastly and then I will stop rambling... and this is just my opinion. 

In layman’s terms, I took all of my earned income to continue with the rehab only paying down my debt when someone else paid me (my lender via draw money).I won’t bore you with the details, but this lasted about 6 months.

Still, this is a poor time in the rental season and 1 months rent can be expected as a cost of vacancy (in addition to the cost to clean and touch up - $900) .Finally and I hope this is is the last one lol - Another tenant is moving out Jan 31st and this unit also requires a full cosmetic rehab.

This is something I make sure to discuss with anyone I partner with so that the last thing we face down the road is a margin call.

The Austin metro was among the hottest destinations in the country for where people were moving last year, according to the latest annual ranking from U-Haul International Inc.Austin ranked No. 5 among the top U.S. growth metros in 2024, and Texas was the No. 2 state for move-ins — bested from the top spot after three consecutive years by South Carolina, according to data released Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area took the crown for the top growth metro in the recent list, followed by Charlotte, North Carolina (No. 2); Phoenix (No. 3); and, Lakeland, Florida (No. 4).

Lastly, check your conversion rate to see how many clicks turn into actual leads.Test different audiences and ad creatives to find what works best, and don’t worry if it takes time to dial things in.

I’ve recommend all my clients to him in the area for the last few years and they have had great success. 

Last thought (mainly for future readers), you may be talking about the 1 year FHA history if you have variable income.
