~Adjust pricing...this can really help!

I would suggest adjusting the price based off similar comparable units in your marketplace simply by going onto Zillow, or other similar sites, and seeing what is moving and what price point that is.

For the local population it was harsh and they're still adjusting.

So, I'll for sure adjust how I communicate in future to avoid that disconnect. 

You don't know how the process works so I don't know why you think you would be getting offers accepted without a pre-approval or proof of funds.You get a pre-approval with a lender you know and every time you make an offer, you just have them adjust and confirm the date and the new property address.

TLDR: If you're in year 4 of 10 and pay the mortgage off, your payoff balance will be adjusted to reflect the cost of buying a gov't bond that will produce the equivalent amount of dividend payments for the remaining 6 years (in other words, one way or another, the lender is absolutely going to get their 10 years of payments).

what you need to do is buy in better areas where the price points are higher and the returns are risk adjusted.. that means paper returns are less.. but you know investors they tend to not think about tenant risk and go for the highest returns on paper..

Like a marriage, you certainly want the capacity to change / adjust, but that can lead to a breakup, or a complete change of heart.

Hi Phil, When I have worked with Section 8 clients, I first contact their case worker & let them know a rent increase is imminent, in some cases the Housing Case worker will also send a letter of adjustment showing the "New Tenant Adjustment Rate" to be paid.

You will get one maybe 80% of what you want and have to adjust systems or supplement from there IMO.Choose wisely, switching is a big PITA
