Quote from @Kevin Hintz: I can totally relate to the tight market and how hard it is to find deals.

**************************************************************************Insurance premiums of American homeowners rose last year, with rates increasing by more than 20 percent in six states, according to a recent report from S&P Global.In 2024, insurers raised rates by 10.4 percent as of Dec. 27, which followed a 12.7 percent hike in the previous year, according to the Jan. 21 report from the company.In total, 33 states saw premiums climb by double digits last year, with the largest spike seen in Nebraska at 22.7 percent.

This is mostly due to affordability and for potential ARV options.I had a good friend buy a property in Indianapolis off of Union Street for $60K she put $48K into the home which was a total dump and was able to refinance the home to pull cash out in 12 months.

No, it would be a total loss.

Affordability isn't a right, it can remain totally preposterous.

Rent in the neighborhood is $895 for a 2 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bathroom, so for 4 units it will total up to $3,580 ($1,073 difference).

The solution could be a creative financing solution such as a total or partial private note, an assumption of the note or LLC, a speciality or local lender, or any combination thereof. 

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.
