If the higher end rent prices on comparable units take an extra month to fill the vacancy and also the tenant stays 1-2 years instead of 3-4 years on average those landlord make LESS income charging that rental price ESPECIALLY if they pay a PM a placement fee upon turnover on top.

We've averaged around 7% for mortgage rates for the past two years now…I think if we can see a settling somewhere in the 6% range, if not sub 6%, we will see nice consumer confidence not only for home values, but rent values as well.

Average age is significantly higher, and there is less to do downtown.

We have been able to get some great deals simply by doing extra research that the average person wasn't willing to do.

Just the same as being surrounded by average performers.

There was an article published in Sept 2024 that showed the average consumer would save over $10,000 by working with a broker vs a direct lender over the life of their loan.

To put a more tangible number on it so you can think about what that really means for someone like you, CoreLogic shows the average homeowner has $311,000 worth of equity built up.

Examples:44109 (median home price went from roughly 50k to 125k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77009/cleveland-oh-44109/ 44102 (median home price went from roughly 30k to 120k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77002/cleveland-oh-44102/ 44106 (median home price went from roughly 100k to 200k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77006/cleveland-oh-44106/ It has the highest rents on average in all of Ohio for major cities and the median home value is not even in the top 3.

And some markets are going to be a lot more popular for the average BP member ( which to me is heavily slanted to starting out) At least from the post we see.  

I'm excited- I'm sure the community will be thrilled and it will quickly be a top downloaded app.
