A reason in all markets to potential keep at this time is that you may have significantly lower interest rates if the purchase was done no later than q1 of 2022.  

Hre are the key things to knowWhat you are bidding on - often oddball properties that are hard to identify and have little value are auctioned offThe true as is value of the property, The tax assessment can be way higher or way lower than the true as is valueThe local laws and how they affet your total costs and returns

I’d stick to Franklin, Clayton, Westminster, hayesville, Bryson city I'd also add Brevard and Waynesville to this list if you are looking for lower-cost options.

Then they lock them in to a SLIGHTLY lower initial cost per kWh.

Some areas will have lower cap rate but higher appreciation and some will have higher cash flow but lower appreciation. 

I agree that efficiency is a huge part of that equation, and the more efficient the PMC, the more they can stay profitable with lower fee structures.  

The lower the score, the higher the risk and the more we charge for a deposit.

@Kyle Carter just because a building has all section 8 tenants doesn’t necessarily mean that the cap rate will be higher on exit but it might attract a buyer(s) that are focused cashflow and not appreciation; therefore a lower price to juice the yield.One of my non negotiables if I were you would be to only buy in an area that is desirable.  

Payments stay lower, cashflow better and it'll boost your balance sheet not to mention lower risk when things go awry. 

The next gentrifying neighborhoods in Chicago are: Lower West Side; Humboldt Park, Gage Park, Ashburn, South deering, Hegewisch, Garfield Ridge & West Elsdon.
