I would have to agree with this - appraisals are no exemption to the general inflation/rising costs of the past few year s- $750 is hardly outrageous and investing in non-warrantable condos and with HOA restrictions is always going to have a risk for hiccups

If properties in that area tend to appreciate more slowly, especially if you can't start renovations immediately, you may sit on that investment watching potential profits get eaten away at slowly as inflation passes appreciation. 

While I am skeptical of the wholesaling profession's prospects for any but high net worth, large scale real estate operators, I could see the odd agent wholesaling a small handful of deals.

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.

I really don’t know how to move forward.I do not see how this works$3800 (rent) - ~$1600 (p&i) -$340 (taxes) - $250 (insurance) - ~$1200 (maintenace/cap ex) - $380 (PM)  - $180 (vacancy) - $400 (water) ~$50 (misc) = -$600/monthin a market that appreciation and rent growth has not historically kept up with inflation.  

The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.  

NMLS call center said they have no problem with it but it strikes me as odd that the MU4 filing requires you to disclose other 'financial related activity'. 

Why they are making you bring 20,000 to closing still isn’t answered for me, that’s odd?

Instead of buying at today’s inflated prices, I develop from the ground up, creating built-in equity and higher cash flow from Day 1.If you’re open to new construction, Columbus has great zoning options and strong rental demand.

Many of those properties don't actually produce income due to turnovers, vacancy, maintenance and damages and you're lucky if they appreciate enough to keep up with inflation.
