My wife and I have been doing an MTR-exclusive startegy for 3.5 years, and we still have a hard time figuring out how to predict vacancy, especially in a new market that we're considering.If we look at FF's (pretty crummy) data on their website we either see very few listings, so we think "no one is investing here; bad" or we see a lot of listings and think "too much competition; bad". 

Then watch the market as many people feel we may have a large real estate correction, if that happens you can exit if you need to and quickly if the dip in prices goes as low as Robert Kiyosaki Predicts.Robert Kiyosaki Predicts.

Advantages: For the lender, it’s predictable cash flow.

And basically anything that rings a bell would be helpful.The reason i am asking about this is i am trying to understand if there is a market need (pain) to make revenue streams more predictable and to insure away such risks.

Having 3-10 paid off rental properties (can be a combination of single family/multifamily properties) depending on you and your families expenses will allow you to have simple, predictable income that is hopefully not too much of a headache. 

Analysts predicted about 160k new jobs, so it's still slightly off compared to experts' best guesses.

Theres certainty always a lag when it comes to rates and closed loans and what is getting quoted in the current day but can share from our perspective:Average Rate so far in September 2024 - 7.417%Average Rate in August 2024 (103 DSCR Loans0 - 7.773%I'd predict average rate will continue to drop and be close to 7% flat for September once the month concludes

What I would probably do is put the money in a safe secure predictable investment like a CD.

You can't predict the future, but having a support system can help give you peace of mind if any hiccups occur.

I’m predicting that to be around 2030-31.
