Hi Even,I don't know about DPA and Grants but I do have a great program with only 3 precent down and low interest rate.

If anyone has experience with their lead quality, conversion rates, or overall value, I’d love to hear your insights.

Based on 27.5 yr straight line depreciation, that's about $1,700 of missed annual depreciation; $25,000 over 15 years - and at an ordinary tax rate of say 30% tax could amount to $7,500 off my current tax bill. 

To add to your argument I suppose the tax implications are better with RE too bc theres a capital gains tax ceiling of 20% vs standard tax rates for IRA withdrawals that are potentially much higher.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.

The amount of capital required depends on the city's appreciation rate.

Popular markets often include beach towns, mountain retreats, and areas with strong tourism.It’s also important to research local regulations, occupancy rates, and management costs to make sure the numbers work.

We are also seeing an increase due to the lower interest rate debt out there in a higher interest rate environment. 

It was all really quick, and the time to complete everything happened a lot faster than I expected (which was a good thing).I was worried at first that I had to use all the partners that Rent to Retirement had, but it was really easy for me to shop around for different lenders with different terms and rates, insurance providers, and property management company.

Using a CAP rate of 7%, the $16,000 becomes= $228,000 of added value.
