A lot (not all) of new people are so eager, but this is a bad time to be eager with high rates and low inventory across the country.

You may need to resubmit things several times, have a hard time getting ahold of them, and there is a very high chance they blow your deal up last minute, but at least you have the opportunity to get the best rate! 

Here is your tip:Buy low and sell high, also don't eat the yellow snow.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Humans are highly influenced by recency bias thus the cash vs equity conversation swings back and forth.

The ARV isn't that high, loan officers were hesitant to own more risk, etc.

However the thermostat is mounted  to the wall a few feet from the front door in a highly accessed retail store where the door is constantly opened.

That kind of net worth can go a long way if you’re trying to make a move.And that’s part of the reason why the share of all-cash buyers recently reached a new high.

I will look for your podcast.That's a great market with a high ceiling, but how's the inventory for finding homes to flip?
