Cash flowing at 5% down was possible about 3 years ago—but that ship may have since sailed.Now, you’re left with two options: you can either pony up more cash per deal, or you can potentially look out of state for markets with more favorable rent-to-price ratios.Or…you can wait for rates to decline, but I don’t know how much a 100 or 150 basis point rate cut in the next year will really move the needle.That said, some firms (usually new construction companies, turnkey providers, etc.) will enter into forward commitments with lenders at institutional rates and then pass cost interest rate savings onto end buyers to entice them to purchase a property.

Quote from @Travis Champ: Hi Everyone,Thank you in advance for any feedback and support you can provide me with.

.: I'm curious how CA agents can make a living with laws like AB2992 that state:"If the out-of-pocket costs to pay their agent remain too great and the seller and buyer have not yet reached an agreement on the sales price and/or terms, the buyer may walk away from the subject property provided there is an exit clause, proceed without representation, or approach the seller's agent about possible dual agency representation." 

Since most of the homes that flooded took on electrical damage, you will almost certainly need to file a permit to do renovation as you will need the electric company to shut the power off, provide temporary meters, and turn the power back on.

Any experiences or insight that you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.Regards,Reggie

You can provide a formal cure notice to your LL/Management and if they don't address it then you can move to next steps.

Talk to lenders, but to be honest who cares if it is over 800.I've had over 800 and over 750, lenders typically provide the same rate as long as it is over 740.

Business issues or simply too high of a rent demand for the space provided?

I am looking at purchasing a house that my realtor says is part of an estate.  I generally know what that means but I don't know if there are any potential cons with this situation.  The property is off a "main road" ...

There are some turnkey providers that are vertically integrated that might be of interest to you if you want to invest passively.
