I worry about quantitative easing, about artificially low interest rates, and about some potentially dangerous practices that let banks insure deposits and practice sometimes unsustainable lending.

(Say, if you were here in my fair city of Denver, Airbnb reigns supreme.)More and more, though, I think these artificial lines are blurring.

Even if there is an increase at their 3yr review period, it's almost NEVER to the last sales price as those can be artificial in dozens of ways.

Artificial Intelligence: maybe you already know that artificial intelligence helps real estate agents to sell or buy homes , so, it will be the AI the future for real estate?

Banks are very aggressive about artificially induced (meaning fix up not time) equity.  

Many times investors won't include the Cap X which will give them an artificial ROI.As for which one is better, that's based on what your goals are.

I do not believe in investing in artificially generate cash flow and calling it "positive".

This is one nuance to fha 203k that you must have 2.25% equity, aka what we explained above, prior to starting the 203k rehab loan.Like I also mentioned the equity could be there or you could bring in cash to pay down the current loan to 97.75% or 97,750 in this example as well to artificially create the equity position.The reason you may want to go with 203k is because you can still borrow up to 96.5% of the after repair value on a fourplex while on home style renovation financing your LTV or max loan amount is a lot lower 85 duplex down to 75% with a fourplex as an owner occupant.However having a lower LTV could be seen as forced discipline to make sure you don’t over leverage yourself as well.

Low cap rate, low CoC return, expenses seem artificially low (5% management?)

Houses were in possession of banks artificially lowering supply.
