This is my market and I live and work in 78610.

Curious if anyone else is using AI for real estate marketing—whether for video, staging, or even writing listing descriptions.

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.  

It justifies the property selling for greater than just market appreciationI do owner builder rehabs but sometimes use contractors for large work scope or scope beyond expertise.  

If you just take the 13,835 financed at 6% you are adding 83 dollars a month. so a double whammy.Now, lets consider if rates drop to 5.5% in 24 months (not a prediction just a what if) and you could have refinanced at a much lower costs then the above scenario in what you paid in pre-paid and additional interest. on the other hand, if rates for your same scenario after your 5 year payback period is 9, then you will have an asset with a much lower then current market rent.  

No one has a "crystal ball" to time the market perfectly. 

There are no laws restricting mark-to-market rents. 

Currently we have it on the market but last night via Biggerpockets website I submitted a request for a loan and out of all the lenders Jason Ariazand Sr.

There are very few markets that cashflow with 100% leverage.

If the only MFH options you're finding are in areas you're not comfortable with, it might be worth focusing on a duplex in a better neighborhood.Saving up for a larger property later is a valid approach too, but keep in mind that real estate tends to appreciate over time, and waiting might make it harder to enter the market later.
