I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

This would allow you to maximize tax deductions at ordinary tax rates.

What's the best email or phone to contact you? 

Maybe they are trying to annoy people with low rate mortgages on purpose to get them to refinance (conspiracy theory alert)?

Frequent hail storms pushing insurance rates up in that market. 

My main concern is the interest rates being so high now as to whether what I'm hoping to achieve is really even possible. 

However, value add with a sale is not as implacted by rates.  

In setting up the platform I have connected with someone local in the area and that will be my 1st point of contact and I could share his info for you to reach out.

Interest Rate: 6.5% per annum (fixed)5.

In my experience, the average Section 8 resident behaves differently than the average market rate resident, and the government-backed rent is not worth the added hassle.
