I am a complete rookie zero experience, zero properties and highly determined to get into multi-family investing.

Before bigger pockets moved the rent estimator to pro users only it estimated rent to be around $975 I don't know or have anything to go by but I thought that was high.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

The most common answer, especially in recent times, is highly levered, floating rate debt.This is not the only answer, by any means. 

I think my fees are high until I shop around and then I am thankful. 

There are two types of return from a rental propertyCash Flow & Appreciation.I normally also aim for a minimum of 8% return between Cash-Flow and Appreciation.Appreication, nationally, is around 2% to 3% annually.Therefore, your goal is to get the cash-flow to be about 5% to 6%.The issue is interest rates being very high, you would therefore, need to buy at a pricepoint where the numbers still make sense.You can always put down more of a downpayment to cash flow, but that will impact your cash on cash return calculations.Best of luck!

Rate will be highly dependent on loan size, credit score, LTV, location, and property type, as well as a few other factors.

You have to have exit values of single family homes high enough where build cost can work.

The neighborhood has been flourishing, making this incident highly unusual.What initially drew me to the property was the potential for high rent and strong cash flow.

The PMC I left to start my own PMC had at least 2 "preferred contractors" related to key players in the office so high rates and poor service fell on deaf ears.
