Huntington is valuing it way lower than what a rehabbed home sells for in my area.

I do worry as more and more time goes by, it's going to be hard for me to not lower the offer.

Great post, thanks for sharing, Kevin--I would also add that the Lower South End area into Madison Park is also a great area to relocated to if you want to be in close proximity to Uptown without being in the hustle & bustle of the city! 

Some of the profits and losses I’ve been seeing in certain properties have been significantly lower than Airdna projects, with only a handful being in the projection range, and maybe one or two exceeding. 

On the flip side, you could purchase in lower-risk areas like Gwinnett, Cobb, and Fulton County and have a cosmetic rehab, but it'll come with a higher purchase price. 

All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

I have confirmed what @Garrett Brown shared -- my best option is an SBA disaster loan with a lower than normal interest rate to pay off our mortgage and then I can also hope for / pursue with others a land buyback program for those of us who have floodplain property that FEMA won't reinsure.

They would not be able to add to the portfolio as they go, though.With lower leverage in the 50% LTV range, they could expect to be in the 6.45% range on a 30-year fixed today.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

@Carl TrubLots of legal and tax implications - you should look at having them put the home in a living trust.I am not an attorney but there are ways to make it so your cost basis is today's value versus a lower value such as if you buy it at a low cost.
