Michael Reach Invest in neighborhood with falling rent (downward trend)
24 June 2019 | 4 replies
- Market is very high priced such that getting a 1% rule off MLS is extremely rare- MLS listed, move-in ready, C+/B- property in a C+/B- neighborhood- Property is a full duplex leased at $850 and $650 per month- Leases are month-to-month so rent could be raised or tenants replaced with relative ease- Rent-o-Meter shows the median rent to be $1300/unit and average to be about $1100/unit- Driving thru neighborhood a neighbor said he pays $1000/mo for similar/identical and is a multi-year tenant- Assuming $1000/mo/unit yields ~$125/unit cash flow and ~23% COC Return (10% reserve each for Vac., Mgt, Rep & CapEx)This all sounds too good to be true but here's the kicker: Rent-O-Meter shows the average rent trending significantly downward from about $1450 to $1100 over the last 24 months.So, my question is do I pursue what looks like about as good a deal as exists in my market (at least with on-market properties) or do I take the falling rent as a significant red flag?

I was interested by it and that led to me scouting out properties/short sales for my family and convincing them to buy.That identification of opportunity secured my parents retirement, and then some, as we (due to dumb luck) bought multiple properties in the HQ2 Crystal City area between in 2010-2017.Fast forward to my RE investment growth, the property I closed on yesterday was at 80% of appraisal, and a model match was just listed on the market for 130% of our final sale price (identical condition as ours).

Reda Eldehiry SRT in sunny isle beach, FL condo hotels appreciation questions
19 August 2021 | 4 replies
It is difficult for a condo to appreciate as an LTR and even more so as an STR when there are hundreds of other identical units and you have limited control over the property in order to force appreciation in terms of paint, renovations, adding a pool, adding pulll-up bars, adding a mini golf, etc.
