It really doesn't apply as much anymore in most markets because rates are too high and homes are selling for too much. .75% rule is more viable and would be the new 1% rule in this market.

Syracuse is definitely experiencing a lot of hype at the moment because of Micron, and we're seeing lots of renovated options on the market in areas that likely won't benefit from the new campus.

I am not sure how much you get involved but do your employees contact the realtor and discuss market rents, do the math to check leases versus market rents and which lenders use the "lesser of the two".Closing in an LLC versus personal name can also add a rate hit as well as Escrow or No escrow.

@Josh LansberryIt’s exciting that you’re ready to take action in the Raleigh/Research Triangle market, an area with strong growth potential.

In my area, I see a big need for a " military friendly" resource in the real estate market. 

During this 24-month period, the property must be rented to another person at a fair market rental value.After the 24 month period your sibling could convert it into a primary residence.

**Getting Started**: The most important thing is to understand how Section 8 works in your market.

While I don’t own investments there, I’ve explored the market and see potential for some long-term growth.

This doesn't seem like a good marketing strategy to me though. 

My manger does this all the time.He has an inspection done to verify all the maintenance issue and has someone video the property to verify all the marketing issues.
