It won't stay that way forever, so enjoy it while it lasts

Without population growth, your rental income will lag behind inflation, requiring you to find additional sources of income.How long your rental income lasts depends on the job growth in the investment city.Non-government jobs are inherently temporary.

I just went through this last year, but after 20 years. 

@Bo Bond- That's great info. 

-----------------------------Today’s Interest Rate: 6.93%(👆.21, from this time last week, 30-yr mortgage)-----------------------------Today we’re talking: housing market, interest rates, and a quick update on my latest rehab and rent project. 

For people that want to close and make it pretty/official/permitted/etc once they are owners, the question is "what is the cheapest way we can get this to pass an appraisal without the appraiser calling for a licensed/bonded/professional/whatever to fix things prior to closing?"

We got a small drop last month but nothing worth bragging about.I was thinking of doing a refi with dropping rates but doesnt seem like thats in cards currently...Thank you The bond market happened.

Are you aware that over 80% of Wall Street / Stock market companies DONT last that long?
