Those stilled cashflowed mostly due to insanely low interest rates.3) Investors started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates didn't allow cashflow at purchase.4) Investors are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

Focus on finding a replacement with strong tenant screening processes and performance guarantees.

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out? 

You have a “full” package including property(s) identified, acquisitions under contract, appraisals performed by MAI appraisers, historical financial statements, pro forma projections, surveys, title reports, feasibility studies3.

This is purely anecdotal, but I've noticed that the top performing properties in my area lead with an exterior shot.

I just wanted is sue a warning against one such company - due to the egregious manner in which he exercised his predatory practices  - in the guise of a legitimate company!!

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

Regardless of the market, choosing a reliable property management company is crucial, as their performance can significantly impact your investment’s success.Good luck!
