There are two types of return from a rental propertyCash Flow & Appreciation.I normally also aim for a minimum of 8% return between Cash-Flow and Appreciation.Appreication, nationally, is around 2% to 3% annually.Therefore, your goal is to get the cash-flow to be about 5% to 6%.The issue is interest rates being very high, you would therefore, need to buy at a pricepoint where the numbers still make sense.You can always put down more of a downpayment to cash flow, but that will impact your cash on cash return calculations.Best of luck!

Studies show good staging does have an impact on your sale.

@David YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

High 6s to mid 7s is more realistic for the most common deals (70%+ LTV).Also, the FFR doesnt really directly impact mortgage rates.

I'd normally also suggest Marshall, Black Mountain, and Old Fort, but many of these towns were heavily impacted by Helene.

Make sure you know the impact that adding an ADU will have on any rent control. 12) investors seldom include the land value in the overall ADU costs.

The harder from a zoning, land availability and pricing it is to get a lot, the better the asset or location is.Tourism-  I would say no impact, to greater demand. 

Real estate transactions, especially flips, come with specific tax implications such as the potential for dealer classification, short-term capital gains, and cost allocation for renovations, which can significantly impact your tax liability.

Do you think my age will impact my authority as a landlord?

Do not let this slide, even if the score impact is negligible.
