The tables have turned and it's a buyers market now with values flat or declining, much longer days on market, price drops, listings expiring, very rare to see full price offers on new listings, etc. 

Quote from @John Key: Quote from @Ray Hage: I had already thought dropping 5 figures into these "mastermind" programs was a bad idea and now, I think it is even worse based on what I read in this thread.

When prices drop, rental demand decreases, putting downward pressure on rents.The TakeawayThe critical factor for success with this strategy is location—specifically, investing in areas with significant and sustained population growth.

It seems every market goes through a cycle -- unnoticed potential; early titillation as the potential becomes known; flood gates open and gold rush is on; property prices rise, revenues drop, regulations come in; and finally balance is found.

Imagine interest rates drop 2% or more in 2 years.

LTV dropped to 50%. 30 yr fixed @ 4.3% LLC (2)• Investment condo - new construction high end purchased in 2019.

There are quite a number of things that can make utilizing an FHA loan more difficult such as more barriers during appraisal, appearance of low qualification/little cash, typically longer closing period, likely higher interest rate, and PMI cannot be dropped without a refinance if 3.5% down.That said, just chain 5% down conventional loans, and make sure your duplexes pay for themselves.  

Those are buyers not renters unless there is some other circumstance.I think you are right about supply....apartment construction is just about to come to a halt and unless interest rates drop in 1/2 probably won't see that pickup for a while. 

Now that demand is cooling, values are dropping.

Do I only draft a cash-for-keys agreement after they've accepted the notion of it or just drop-off the proposal/demand?
