I had taken a course many years ago in NH and spent twice as much only to pass over taking the exam after a multitude of brokers came in pitching their inflated desk fees and sparse commission splits.  

Often wholesalers underestimate renovation costs and inflate the ARV.

You will get rent inflation most likely, but we make very conservative assumptions (i.e. no appreciation for the next 4-5 years).

flow through entities, the net gain to my bottom line is unchanged, but it seemed like a way to inflate the property value.

That was a couple of weeks ago and now just a couple of days ago I see a Realty sign out front with bidder select with a inflated price but public records show how much the lender foreclosed on.

For putting 75k down, tenants will have my 600k in houses, which I expect will keep pace with inflation, paid off in 25 years.

If interest rates rise because inflation rises or for some other reason the remote nature of the calling may not be so remoteThink like an attorney.

Hi, I'm a new investor and still gathering info before getting my feet wet.my goal is to generate a positive cashflow, while hoping that the property also increase in value (not a big jump, but at least on par with inflation).from the get go,my mind was set on a single family home or a duplex.. until recently someone mention that a condo might be a better investment for greater positive cashflow.With condo, there's a condo fee but the price will be lower, and I don't have to maintain any lawn or replace a roof..I'm trying to figure out if Condo is the way to go.here's my current analysis of a Single home vs Condo:Single home: Price $160K, tax 3600, ins 700. 20% down at 4.25% interest. it can be rented out for 1500/monthCondo: Price $45K, tax 1800, ins 350. will buy in cash. can be rented 500-600/month.

An inflated price would likely blow up on you in terms of an appraisal contingency or if the tenant does their homework and finds it's a bogus asking price.

Loans are just about even with the inflation rate and anyone who doesn't take advantage of that right now is crazzzy!
