The most recent job fair featured over 20,000 open positions.In ConclusionWhile nothing is guaranteed, the combination of population growth and limited land for expansion virtually assures that prices and rents will continue to increase.Thanks for reading my post.

@Jaycee Greene ~3k/month between the 2 units combined. 

It comes from deals like seller financing, BRRRR, house hacking or a combination.

There are pros and cons to using DPA with your average conv/fha loans ( yes this is how you arrive at 0% down or 100% CLTV or combined loan to value financing).Conv and FHA lend up to 95-97% so that remaining 3-5% down is covered or partly covered by the remaining local DPA programs.

You can combine both sources in one document to strengthen your proof. 

This is a combination of the all time worst rent to purchase cost ratio and interest rates that are near the high for this century.   

With a $25,000 renovation investment, we modernized and enhanced the home’s value.

And when people get tunnel vision for lowest $ down, they tend to not give attention to the revenue generation of it, the operations, and that's a VERY dangerous combination of high leverage and not so-good revenue. 

But my 4 renters are in there 30's-50's and work 50+ hours / week building naval ships and submarines and they enjoy being close enough to walk to the shipyard and coming home to a brand new house with all the modern upgrades. 

It's funny that over time usually people fall into the latter; or some combination.
