There is also about 40% less inventory for Condos than there is for Co-ops.If you're mainly looking to invest in an apartment to save on rent and learn the market, I'd recommend a small multifamily (2-4 unit) investment.

Plus funding is readily available and deals need to mature a few years before profits emerge, so why would a turn key provider not just keep a good rental property.Our inventory is so low in Milwaukee, that sellers don't have a reason to give a discount. 

The loan programs of your buyers will dictate how much of a credit you are allowed to apply to their closing but it certainly helps to move inventory when you offer an incentive. 

Inventory should increase and prices should dip.

My question to you is, what is your plan to build up the inventory?

There' s a buyer who will credit me the value of the lots towards a finished and tenanted property in their inventory.  

It’s especially effective in eastern PA, where competition and inventory can be tough.If you’ve got $80K, I’d suggest capping your initial spend at $60-65K.

I'm hearing that with the end of banks loans moratorium, new inventory will enter the market and that can generate good opportunities for buyers.Bank rates are still very low, and you can get a fixed rate below 2%.

Which contributes to the higher inventory right now.

Over the last (3) years I have seen some extreme cases of expedited equity where an investor buys an older home or "Ugly Inventory" and then bats clean up on the ARV in 12 months.To give you an example I helped an investor refinance her home in 2023 pull cash out to buy a $65K home all cash.
