Alhtough values continue to appreciate, home prices are coming down as competition gets heated with more homes on the market.

And Even though a guy like Montalongo took a ton of heat he also advised his clients to buy in Vegas and Orlando post crash ( I funded 300 plus deals for those students) and none of my loans were over about 100k each those assets have doubled and tripled just on appreciation but no one mentions that..

Jared,Usually its the other way around you move from Chicago to Miami get out of the cold to get into the heat.

However, due to the anticipated gap in necessary units we anticipate the occupancy rate will increase slightly in the future.If you're a buyer right now what all this is telling me is right now is the time to be taking swings while things are cool and before they heat back up literally and figuratively.

After the tenant moved in the repair calls starting coming in 9 times in 12 months - backdoor was stuck again (that was part of minor repairs), heat went out, AC not cooling, kitchen sink leaking,  etc.

Hello @Jordan Wisser,I agree with you regarding competition heating up if/when rates drop.

You will likely have common area lighting (interior and exterior), perhaps heating and cooling too. 

Many properties in Macon lack central heat and air which I feel is a "must-have" amenity in GA.

I would rather let it sit empty with no wear and tear than take $1700 a month and pay probably $300/month for heat in the winter. 

I just closed on a duplex in Dayton for $189K $1100 a door and have an investor closing on a 4 unit for $325K in Indy with great rents that cash flow over $1000 a month.I have seen Indiana, & Ohio pick up some major heat over the last 3 years for investors while Boise falls somewhat short.
