Do not get me wrong I believe there needs to be some fundamental changes.

Is a machine something you use one time or something That's fundamental to the business?

Each had many factors, but a drastic shrinking of available credit was a big factor in both.The only issue with the financial crisis was that it was triggered by something fundamentally wrong within our financial system: Toxic mortgages.

Based off the 1% rule, this property falls well below at .63% which based of the fundamentals of the 1% rule says this property will never be cash flow positive. 

But, if your just starting out like me, and have a proven track record to cashflow rentals ( airbnb arbitrage ) and are ready to start buying, the STR strategy breaks a fundamental link in the BRRRR Model. 

“The U.S. has undergone tremendously difficult conditions that have fundamentally altered our nation’s demographics, but one thing remains certain—there is a need and demand for more rental housing,” said NAA President and CEO Bob Pinnegar.

Househacking is becoming very popular and some people are buying without fundamental cashflow analysis, pricing a lot of us sane individuals out!

I will say, as far as cash flow goes the numbers here are a lot different than they are in California (fundamentals remain the same.) 

Hi @Naga A.Generally speaking Atlanta has strong fundamentals.

I was reading that the Fed might not raise rates for 12 years or  ever if that is possible.Buy only what you are comfortable with, stick to fundamentals, dont bank on appreciation, tax breaks or AirBNB income, buy only what makes somewhat sense long term and where interest rates are low and if it breaks even or close [probably not with FHA] then you can hold long term.If you are just renting you need an offset and long term appreciation to take out the tax sting at least.
