We just have to put the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and install the light fixture in the first apartment that is almost ready,  We have advertised the apartment for $1,000 and have gotten some response but no one has come to see it yet.  

There's a reason that certain profession, like medicine, law, and real estate appraisal are regulated by the government, because when they are performed by someone without the proper training there can be bad consequences.

The people I always talked with sounded so helpful and nice and so I wanted to trust them, but ultimately I knew that to make a big purchase like a home I had to also do my own additional research.What I found is often, turn key companies may buy in dying cities (cities with worrisome declining population trends), cities without more than one or two main employers for the town (risk to city's future), or cities that have artificially high rents for what the actual local population can afford (this happened the most during the pandemic to places like FL, where remote work makes it seem like rents on a 2 bed could be $2k a month, when the local population, figuring the remote workers get called back to the office in some other state the locals could only afford, say, $1.5k).This logic as to why they would still buy in those markets regardless though makes sense, as some of these points (namely the first two) can mean they can find sub-$150k houses for sale that therefore, figuring on how much down payment and closing costs would be, could put the price in an affordable price point for many investors.

Artificially tampering with a market economy only creates the adverse effect. 

The speculation and California Exodus may artificially keep that going for awhile, but unfortunately that can only last so long..  

The rates are artificially low because it's backed by FEMA. 

Quite the opposite I think the concern is that the only way the government can afford to supplement workers income is to print money via treasuries that will artificially inflate asset prices and create an even greater divide between the haves and have nots. 

So, depending on where you are looking, the assessed values are artificially low by statute.

I am a very busy medical professional working in emergency medicine.

This artificial propping of the U.S. economy, is on-going, until means to defeat this virus are effected, which are likely not to occur, until at least 6 months form now.
