One of reasons I think you are seeing even large apartment complexes built as a bunch of small multi is because the fire suppression system is getting significantly higher so by building less population dense buildings you can circumvent a significant cost.

Wages don’t rise much either, suppressing rent growth. 

@Brandon Sturgill More people continue to get scammed when you suppress the truth.

These are simply economic norms and factors of the market at large, but I find them to be good ways for us to understand intuitively WHY interest rates do what they do (ignoring the governmental suppression of the rates, of course).This will roughly track with the rates that lenders use, but it may look more like a blend between commercial lenders and hard money lenders.% of profit is a great concept and I love that it aligns interests, but know going in that it significantly increases your administrative burden compared to a simple % on the loan.

But then, maybe the buyer's premium (up to 5%) in the PSO auction suppresses the final bid.One property was located in Stark County, the other in Franklin.

That likely means fire suppression system, hardwired alarms, etc. 

Then when you consider how to fix the payment at $800 you are going to HAVE to keep it unrenovated . . . which means that your total value is suppressed here.Perhaps this is one you can carry personally for whatever season it is needed and then pull the "highest profit" lever and position it for the note to be of maximum value when you're not trying to keep payments at a certain level?

New home construction is slow due to a significant increase in materials cost which will continue to suppress the inventory.

My thought is DTLA prices are suppressed thanks to COVID, however I believe there will be a bounce back because of the lifestyle DTLA brings.
