I see sellers fluffing the books with weak tenants to sell at an inflated price and then the buyer ends up with a headache.I think previous suggestions are correct - let tenants know that new management will be much more stringent on collections, and also try to raise rents if possible.

The Fed is just going to inflate the debt away.

As a buyer, most deals presented to me from a wholesaler either have the value of the property over inflated, the costs of the rehab under estimated, or frequently both.   

Builders use various appraisal & other manipulation means to inflate values.

Pro: You will have access to more off-market properties that you otherwise wouldn't have known aboutCon: They will likely inflate the ARV and underestimate the rehab costs so you must run your own numbersQuick Tip: Always make sure they have the property under contract and are direct to seller to avoid the middlemen

As long as it beats the inflation in their own country, they are golden. 

It’s widely accepted that real estate is America’s best tax shelter, but when you consider its other benefits (income, control over investment, forced appreciation, the ability to leverage, and protection from inflation), it’s easy to understand why real estate is also America’s best investment, and your best path to that most sought-after lifestyle…Freedom.Ian Parrish

I think the price is inflated, but I need guidance.

I know I shouldnt be searching for the perfect deal, but that's what I've found myself doing for hours in out of state markets since the market here in CA is so inflated right now.

They're OK with just beating out inflation.
