We'll know more about the market's expectations for the size of the rate cut after we see the first two weeks of economic data in September.

@Michael GondaIt ultimately comes down to what you want to achieve with the equity.

I am finding fairly positive economic data but have not run across many on these forums who invest there.

In our market, it's not a deal killer, but you have to take into consideration a lower qualified tenant, and you will not be able to achieve market rents.

For outbound, you’ll need to get lists of addresses and tons of data from platforms that pull county records on a daily basis like bathleads and propstream so you can filter those records more easily by potential motivation indicators like foreclosure, eviction, probate, etc.

I always discuss what you're trying to achieve before hand and, if it makes sense, will ask for supporting documentation for a formal pre-approval.

I am in georgia.Hey there,First off, congrats on paying off all your debts—that’s a huge achievement!

Interested in learning how that worked out as getting ready to purchase my first in the Smokies and with the Property Management fee, the cash flow looks to be upside down and the rates that they are also charging are lower than I would have thought in looking at the actual rental data 

Buying a new, or nearly new property, even when at a 10% premium to the market, typically allows for higher rents to be achieved, provides for warranty transfer on items like appliances, roof, windows, and general construction, and prevents cap ex issues to impact annual ROI for the first 10-20 years.
