It'll never be a ghost state, not with that weather.

The market is likely to benefit from improving economic conditions, including rising household incomes and stable employment growth.4.

My main concern is whether a 9% interest rate is reasonable in the current market conditions given my credit score.

.)- View the general condition of each unit.

I have in my commercial LOI's that seller will pay me fee of X percent at closing, as a condition of closing.

You mitigate risky applicants by rejecting them not accepting them with conditions.

Question from the other side, appreciate your help:House owner was trying to sell his house but didn't get good offers so he rented it out to me, we signed a lease and I gave him the security deposit.Later before move-in, the owner said the house was in a contingent sale which the owner cancelled but the buyer didn't and the buyer fulfilled his conditions and he wants to move forward with the saleWhat are my options as a tenant, move in date not reached yet and owner saying sorry go find another place to rent?

Any suggestions - especially in regards to high value bills such as electricity during summer when air conditioning is on-  are highly appreciated. 

No matter the current market conditions.

These properties are currently being rented for a great amount with great cash flow.Most of the time, these properties are not in the worst condition, but they are not new either (I think about $10-20K in repairs needed) or even properties that have great tenants paying great rent in them.Now, if I analyze the MAO with the standard calculation (ARV * 0.7 - repairs - fee), it won't make sense for the seller, and he won't sell it (found out the hard way haha).What do you guys do in that situation?
