Economic pressures forcing landlords to adjust rental prices to attract tenants.For renters, this means more flexibility and savings, especially in historically competitive areas.

Although again the guys i funded that have 250 plus units probably have 10 mil or more in forced equity. 

After talking to support (who were actually quite responsive and helpful), they told me I had to publish the ad with only one photo first and then re-post the ad with additional photos later to force the first photo to be first.

If you are open to value add strategy, small multis have potential for not only traditional forced appreciation but also the ability to see major rent increases.  

People are looking to live smaller or some are being forced to live smaller, hence the insane growth in apartments and storages.

Yes, I'm a lender, but we have an arm that's been investing for close to 20 years now.

Hi @Alex Lee I would avoid 203K loan and work with conventional renovation loan based on knowing you'll be forced to use 203k certified contractors which will cost more money and offer inflated pricing because they must follow 203k guidelines. 

However, the entire market depends on Robins Air Force Base, with not much else moving the needle.

The family purchased a lakefront property in a nice area three years ago but then ran into a series of issues, and have abandoned the place because of them.They are hoping the bank allows a short sale (asking for roughly $20,000 under what is owed)Here's what's made them so unhappy:Anytime they used the laundry it was dumping into a dry well, which would back up into the house forcing them to take their laundry to a laundromat instead!!

My plan is to purchase a home that I will hold onto while hoping to gain both forced and time appreciation.
