In fact, someone just called me last week and had a non-performing rental package that they purchased in the same fashion and the prices they bought at, considering the actual condition and historical performance of the properties was too high in my opinion. 

That said, I’ve found that properties in C-class neighborhoods tend to perform best with Section 8 tenants.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

Research comps in the Milwaukee area or connect with a local appraiser to estimate your property’s potential value.Depending on the rental income, you might explore DSCR loans for your refinance, as they rely on property performance more than personal income.

I think what you describe is pretty much standard performance for rental properties if your not paying cash and I am just assuming your putting max debt on them to try to get your return numbers into your criteria..

Look at median household incomes, look at market economy base and diversification, look at what's being done to protect and grow economic performance, just run the #'s and the message should be crystal clear. 

Contractors performing structural, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work are required to have the appropriate licenses issued by the City of Chicago.

I can only speak to the Texas market, where malls that focus on creating consumer experiences (coffee shops, kids play area, entertainment-based tenants) are still performing well even in this age of online shopping.  

Never heard of him.Make sure you perform proper due diligence.

I would say it depends on how well the chunk of cash in your 401k is performing compared to the asset you are acquiring.
