Properties still cashflow, but margins are tightening.

Eviction moratoriums and new rules (some I agree with, resulting from Kushner-style corporate landlord abuse) that came down the WA pipe last summer forced me to tighten screening criteria significantly. 

So I tightened my budget and began saving a large percentage of my pay, but set a goal to revisit real estate in 2015.

So far the lending process was the biggest strain on the nerves when out of the blue, a friend agreed to do private money financing with me.

I hear rumors that FHA will be tightening down on this strategy since their loans are not designed to be for investors. 

The difference IMO was that since lenders all failed or nearly failed in the last crash, and in some degree they have been tightened up, the correction will probably be more limited to real estate than the last crash, which nearly bankrupted the entire economy.

They have tightened up as of late..I squeaked by on my past 2 BRRRR's .Also remember the guidelines require a seasoning period of 6 months, sometimes longer

@Maurice MillerI don't really borrow hard money however it looks like the market is tightening up on their end as well.

Don't get yourself in a financially strained situation as it sounds like you have other issues to sort through first and don't need additional complexity.

Many areas are tightening there rules on VR's.
