Prices are a little soft in Memphis at the moment, but I think that will change when interest rates go down some more.

You can find higher ROI (on paper) here and probably in other cities…but the probability of actually collecting rent significantly decreases.

The program was created to give low-income tenants an alternative to living in federal project housing.S8 sets their rental rates to the LOW-END of market averages, if not slightly below.

Then hopefully we have a 3-4-5 year window to increase rates. 

The data points they use made me feel like it got my pricing right and I feel much more confident about what my nightly and seasonal rates are now. 

When we create our business plan, we also include our exit plan.We'll only proceed if we can clean this up, acquire new tenants at higher rents so we can increase our NOI, which in turn should reflect our cap rate and profits.Since this asset class is new to us we will tread cautiously.Scheduled to preview tomorrow. 

It's a combo of low housing supply, higher interest rates vs. seller expectation, and a poor economic outlook for the country.As an investor with a few rentals it's like like the parking brake is stuck on.

Ok yeah we are thinking of getting an investment property loan so we can stay in our current home.If we did the FHA route we are considering on living in the new property for 1 year and then moving back into our old one after the year is up.We are curious if we would get a more favorable rate if we borrowed from our home equity to buy the investment property.Do you have any idea if many investors borrow from their home equity to get started?  

Many property managers tend to focus on physical occupancy rates, but what truly matters is the economic occupancy rates—the actual rent collected.

I always run the numbers with long term rental rates.
