Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.

Spring may be better but I was unable to sell a cheap house in October for 5% off of “market value” and only sold a $600k home in January by listing it for $580k and I still only got one offer. ($150k down, 5 year seller financing.) my point being you may get $20-$40k more in a year if you don’t need to sell. 

Rich Ng That's good to know, I know people who have had issues in Salem with big differences between market and section 8.

One year after I used that property to pull a HELOC and this year used that money to purchase an off market 4 family property in Clinton for well under market value, which I just recently finished all of the repairs and upgrades on.

Would love to network with some people to get to know the area and the market a little better, as well as to hear about your experiences.

Cleveland would be a great market for you.

It works...but any marketing works, it just depends. 

Has anyone had good experience with Furnished Finder in your market or if in Houston even better?

I’m active in the market and happy to share insights on neighborhoods, financing options, or connect you with resources.
