Key Market Movers and How to Track Rateshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2024-dscr-loan-rates-and-...How Do DSCR Lenders Calculate Your Interest Rate?

A few times our door knocker team doubles as "movers" litterally.- You will have to come out of pocket for the arears, fees etc, just to get into "contract" some times $20k or more and all you have as protection is the word of someone who's proven to be unreliable and a signed piece of paper... 

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year. 

Those may not pay off.Buyers:  There is a fine line between the first mover and the last sucker.

Do better rehabs.  100% agreed mate,Safety comes in the volume.Something that I've "preached" for many years.It's not worth the time, money or even risk buying 1 or 2 or even 3 properties unless an investor has a growth type mindset and a will to scale to 10+.It's very simple, you own 1 and it goes vacant.That's a 100% impact on your income.You own 10 and 1-2 to go vacant.That's only a 10-20% impact on your income.It's also a very high likelihood that problems will always exist with 1 or 2 properties at any given moment...Plus, such markets (Ohio and Michigan) don't appreciate as much as many others like a Texas and Florida for example.Michigan and Ohio are slow movers and only recently (10+ years later) caught up to some of the other "higher flying" markets from a yearly growth percentage.Much success

I also don't want tenants and their movers hauling major appliances around and banging up doors and walls.I bought most of the washers and dryers used.
