Hi, I am in the position to buy a single family historic home with an ADU in the back that currently has a tenant in it paying $1600 a month including utilities.The home has 3 beds and 1 bath  and needs some light work such as floors including leveling of one bedroom where the floor is dipping, a few windows, stair repair, painting  and landscaping as it sits on a 7000sqft lot.

The lower down payments has historically be an indicator for a greater risk of default and 10% has been that magic number of separation.

The Sponsorship's model had economic stabilized occupancy greater than today's current, historic and future forecasted physical occupancy.

The Pandemic housing market, fueled by historically low interest rates, began in the Spring/Summer of 2020 and arguably ended in late 2022 or Spring of 2023 with rising interest rates. 

Contact the utility provider and get a historical average based on the last year of use.

Real estate has historically been a long term play.this idea that someone who otherwise never cared about real estate, can simply dial up a realtor and buy instant 4 digit monthly cashlfow is something born out of YouTube.

We've been historically low ever since, but I've seen some signs of recovery this year (2024).
