Those rent increases have pushed some lower-income tenants to the brink of what they can afford.

My buybox is <150k, as turnkey as possible, 3 bed, prefer 2 bath but will do 1 bath for the right deal, neighborhoods with lower crimes than the nearby areas, rent at <1.5k.

The problem is that people will never know that they sold their home for $30k to $50k lower than what they could have gotten. 

It’s a familiar debate, as Californians have faced this choice twice since 2018.Under the 2019 Tenant Protection Act, rent hikes have been capped at 10% per year or lower if inflation rates dictate.

Is this too much and if so when should I lower the price and how much is reasonable enough for both sides 

If you have questions about lowering your taxes with real estate and would rather have someone else handle your yearly returns, give us a call or shoot me a DM, and we can get started. 

I would think this is especially true in lower price point areas. 

If talking to more builders does not work out to join you on transaction #1+ and you have enough capital and heavy rehab experience along with a GC / builder doing the project many lenders out there will offer you a lower leverage loan for your first project on your own.  60% finished value and 75% LTC is probably achievable without a builder in your company for the loan. 

You can get into a home with a lower down payment and a lower interest rate.

In addition even with a lower down payment you should be paying significantly less per month even with PMI then you would if you moved into a single family house that you where fronting the entire bill for.
