Murchison Rd and the area surrounding Fayetteville State University tend be avoided by most, but I have found success even in those areas.

In Orlando, there will be lots of comps to use as data to compare so it will tend to be more accurate.

Not taking any "boo-boos" into account either (even the most experienced flippers tend to come in over budget on projected rehab costs).

I do a lot in Detroit.The quick good/bad:- S8 tenants tend to be rougher on the property (but not always)- Paperwork/inspections/etc. can be burdensome and tough to navigate (especially initially)- People often think FMR rates are guarantee rental rates but that's not the case- Usually the rent isn't 100% subsidized and a lot of people don't realize this- S8 tenants tend to stay a lot longer than cash tenantsOverall, I'm neutral on the program.

This week (jobs week), markets have been volatile.Negative news (tending to make bond prices fall; bond yields and mortgage rates rise):A stronger than expected employment report from ADP, including an apparent reacceleration in wage growth for job changers.Commentary from Fed members Raphael Bostic, Loretta Mester, and Neel Kashkari suggesting that there was “no rush” to cut rates unless unemployment rates began to spike.Positive news (tending to make bond prices rise; bond yields and mortgage rates fall):Fed Chairman Jerome Powell saying that — despite the recent “bump” in inflation — rate cuts were still likely this year.Weekly jobless claims came out at 221,000 for the week ending March 30, a bit higher than expectations.As always, everything could change today (Friday) with the release of the BLS jobs report for February.

Most legit lenders will have a much higher loan minimum because the same effort is extended on small loans as it is on larger ones (within reason) so most lenders tend to avoid smaller ones that are less profitable.

The three things inexperienced real estate investors tend to chase are (1) number of doors, (2) whether the opportunity can work as a BRRRR and (3) cash flow.

In Pittsburgh the out of state investors I work tend to have the least amount of turnover and headache by investing in single family rentals in B class areas.
