If you can manage to keep up with the real estate market in these markets that we have come to hit, and still be able to navigate the unchartered waters.

One week into 2025 and the US housing market is facing considerable new challenges. 

Study the market.

I wanted to see what markets have both a relatively high rent-to-price ratio and high appreciation.

I try to evaluate a unique property 2-3 different ways, then make a highly educated guess based on my knowledge of the market.

They are on the market longer and are not going at asking prices but some people are still being very aggressive with their asking prices so it really isn't a great indicator.

Isn't this happening in many markets thought?

Studying the local market makes a lot of sense.

Do you have a preferred type of property and price range you're looking for in general (knowing the costs can be different based on they market)?

Nonetheless, you can base the DSCR calculation on PadSplit rent (if there's a history of PadSplit income being produced) or short-mid-term market rent (an analysis done at the same time of appraisal).
