Typically, the tax is based on the assessed fair market value of the property at the time of the transfer, even if it’s not a traditional sale.

I'm looking to purchase my first rental property and have been searching for a deal that would generate positive cash flow based on my projections.

Additionally, I created MEC (Material Estimator Calculator), a unique residential renovation software that automatically calculates a bill of materials (BOM) based on the property’s condition.Overall, I’m thrilled to escape the Seattle rain and connect with fellow investors here in Arizona.

I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.

I am based out of Westchester County, NY, looking to invest in multifamily properties.  

Prices a few years ago were based on expectations of (in addition to interest rates staying low): - Then current operating cost assumptions (like insurance cost expectations being flat)- A seeming disregard for record levels of new inventory / supply hitting the market- Extremely high inbound migration expectations which are likely to not be met, due to both natural disasters and the boomerang effect when people from California or the Northeast move to the American South and hate every minute of the humidity, the large and relentless swarm of insects, and the occasional hurricane. 

Hey @Benjamin Jones -  Fellow Japan-based investor here.  

I don't see that happening any time soon based on your 2022 to now trajectory, but you do want to find a way to make it profitable.

If you die while holding the property, it gets a stepped up value and all the gain is tax free.If rental the taxes can be deferred via a 1031 and if you die while holding it, it gets the stepped up bases with gain forgiven.Hopefully the numbers provide some example of possibilities. 

I'm not trying to time the market. ..just interested in people's opinions for me it was based on my experince I started in RE in 1975 and the 10 year cycle seemed to hold true right up to the GFC at least on the left coast..
