I haven't bought a deal or anything I'm still saving up, I'm at 25k I'll hopefully be ready to buy in the next three years, otherwise the city I'm buying in is Barrie which is generally a great appreciation market, I've got two brothers Chris owns two rental properties and Ryan just bought his first partnering up with my brother chrises second deal, so I might partner up for my first deal I don't know yet tho depends on what my brothers want to do.when shopping properties I do remember from the book you shouldn't buy properties based off cap rates but im wondering at the beginning do you first skim this information say the property is listed at a 6% cap rates which is common in the Barrie market would I then would go walk the property and see if things are viably ok, once I believe it's resdy for a professional inspection I'll get information about deferred maintenances mainly capex based off what I need to repier I'll be walking the property with the professional and I guess he'll give me a rough cost of How much everything that is needed and when I need to get the work done due dates, also I don't know how to calculate how much I should set aside in monthly terms after I get the required information from the inspector I'll be doing this for the first time, if the pure cash flow is incheck  I believe usually NOI is usually around 60% including appreciation and mortgage income andone going deferred maintenances around 35-40%, now I'm ready to make an offer?

Both markets are a bit overpriced, considering  taxes and insurance are so expensive now.

In today’s competitive real estate market, where inventory is tight and opportunities seem few and far between, many potential buyers are overlooking a game-changing option: renovation loans like the 203(k) and HomeStyle.

,  occupancy rates, capex plans, competitor rental rate study, market study, etc.  

To connect with potential partners, consider attending local real estate investor meetups where you can network with those looking to invest passively.If you’d like to explore HM financing options, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat!

Structuring the deal properly (like through a land trust) can reduce this risk.Your best bet is to connect with an Illinois investor who has successfully done sub-to deals or find a local real estate attorney who specializes in creative finance.

I have 3 months of performance (so DSCR isn't an option.... unless there are DSCR options with only 3 months of performance) and the cabins are doing really well (top 1% for one and top 10% for the other) - even with the huge downswing in the market.

I was in Quad Cities some time back on "field trip" finalizing launch of acquisition program in market and it hit me how significant some of the homes were.

I wouldn't let the time requirements of a 1031 exchange dominate your thinking at this stage in the market.

No issues and tenants are renewing.That indicates tenants were paying below market rates.If the market rate for a 2-bed/1-bath apartment is $1,000 without utilities included, then he should adjust his rate to $1,100 because it includes $100 in utility cost.
