Welcome to the community, Hiram! 

There are 3 ways this can happena) Salaries increase (unlikely)b) Interest rates drop (not very likely since we I believe we have $8T of debt to sell next year that is coming off books and China and Russia are not buying US dollar as muchc) Home prices drop2.

My actual experience has been very varied.  

our strategies are very technical.

My guess solely looking at your numbers is that it's an older/distressed property which means you have to account for more costs in capex. 2nd thought being it's not in the best of neighborhood then you'd have to take into consideration lower quality tenants/ neighbors and maybe increase expected vacancy and late payments.

Once they have seen the property and are interested, the prequalification and background checks will do the rest of the work in weeding out undesirable tenants for you. 

Thanks for the replies. 

Now, Christian hasn't been active since 2023...but sometimes people just read things and don't respond very much.Now, the things I would share with you in your inquiry here:1.

Purchase price: $172,000 Cash invested: $43,000 We purchased this rehabbed home and added a privacy fence, removed overhanging trees, finished the countertops, built a firepit, security system, camera's, fixed the sidewalk and turned it into an airbnb.

Buildings are the same age.Is it possible that the insurance brokers advises the insurance companies to do those inspections?
