Even though the FMRs are $730, I was conservative and used $600 for my Pro Forma- The current owner hasn’t raised them at all because he didn’t want any turnover- outside of cleaning and painting, no big costs- Not Section 8 

Look at lower ARV properties 200k and below and you'll probably find some that can work as a flip or a BRRRR even with current interest rates.I also would recommend meeting with a lender and describing your goals. 

They will know market data and trends better, have reliable comps to base their recommendations on, and could even be a great deal flow with current portfolio properties selling.The completely remote, centralized PM function is one of the reasons why you see the homes owned by PE firms sit on the market so long.

Then my current primary home will be rented out to balance the cash flow of this purchase for the next year or so.

Currently looking to beat $1800/yr for 2023 build SFH in Pensacola.

Curious to know what inventors think about the current market conditions?

I'd estimate that I currently have about $300k in equity on my home, and am seriously considering borrowing some of it to invest in real estate, however I have no idea what the best options would be (syndicating, rentals, flips, lending, etc).

Quote from @Steve Tokita: I am an out-of-state investor living 1500 miles away from three properties that I am currently renovating to rent or to flip. 

VA loans are the only loans that allow this, and there is no rate penalty for it no longer being your primary home.With that in mind, you could do a cash out refinance today at a higher rate than current market rates which will create profit on the loan, we can take that profit to pay for your closing costs.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the current market and any success/fail stories in the Phoenix area.
