People might be taking advantage of the rising prices.

But in reality you might just want to think about using a standard savings account And taking a hit from inflation on the cash because the delta from the higher interest account to the regular account is not really that much on small amounts.

I usually do not work with New Western; I have found the PP is too high and the ARV's are always inflated.

If the new administration actually enacts their policy stances on tariffs, immigration, trying to ignite the economy even more....all of those things add up to higher inflation.

There ARV numbers are always very inflated and their rehab #'s are always way off.

We saw huge appreciation in the 2018-2022 inflation run up, but that has significantly slowed these days in my opinion.From a rental perspective your monthly income per unit after all expenses with a typical 20% down payment is likely $100-300 when you find a property that will cash flow.

I would have to agree with this - appraisals are no exemption to the general inflation/rising costs of the past few year s- $750 is hardly outrageous and investing in non-warrantable condos and with HOA restrictions is always going to have a risk for hiccups

At the pro forma income, the cap rate would rise to 8%, which is more reasonable but only achievable after renovations.

You can then rent at market rate but have to register it with the town annually and abide by their annual inflation rules.
