Median sale prices for Melrose (single family homes) in the last 3 years are as follows:2024 (year to date): $590,0002023:     -->              $535,0002022:     -->              $502,500With interest rates expected to drop several times from the end of '24 into '25, many believe that property values will continue to rise.If you are concerned about tenants not paying, I'd recommend:- Do not rush into accepting a tenant.

I'll continue to pay attention to your posts with that type of track record! 

Be persistent, follow up with individuals, and express your continued interest and progress.

Then lastly, a notice of foreclosure.During this time, the mortgage is continued to be paid and there is no damage to credit.We will then deed the property back to the seller/borrower and show this to the lender.
