•Potentially higher rents – In some markets, Section 8 can pay above-market rent, though it depends on the local housing authority.Cons:•Lower tenant quality (on average) – Not all Section 8 tenants are bad, but they often have lower incomes and credit scores, requiring careful screening.

In my markets there is a city I have long worked with, Foley MN.

Margins getting thinner.ADRs have actually decreased significantly in my market (Denver) since 2022.

Use a buyer's agent that knows the market, contracts, negotiations, etc.If you really want to learn about investing, get a job in property management. 

I'm curious how fellow investors are thinking about this scenario.If mass job displacement occurs:How would rental markets respond when income stability vanishes?

Focus on market research by exploring neighborhood rent trends and property values while considering your financing strategy (house hacking, BRRRR, or buy and hold).

In this market, with interest rates and prices at where they are, they're usually not viable (i.e. don't cash flow).

Quote from @Joseph Kirk: Hey everyone,I’m dealing with a frustrating situation and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.I was set to close on an off market purchase in two days, but I just found out that the mortgage company filed a Lis Pendens, meaning the foreclosure process has started because the seller hasn’t been paying their mortgage.

Quote from @Paul Azad: Real Estate math is annoyingly confusing as syndicators like to use all sorts of different numbers from MOICs to IRRs to AAR-average annual returns to anything else they can come up with to beneficially inflate their numbers for marketing purposes and to avoid the only metric used when investing in all other asset classes, the CAGR- compound annual growth rate, but it's easy to convert, like pounds to kilograms.Here you have 100% in 5 years or 20% AAR, or 2.0 MOIC, you take the MOIC or add 100 to the total return 100%+100% = 200% = 2.0, then you do an exponential equation (x to the Y) with x=2.0 and Y= 1/time in years, so 2 to the 0.2 which is 14.87% that's your CAGR {calculator will have an x to the y button for ease, 2 x/y .2}for example, sp500 just returned 254% over last 10 years, so add 100 so MOIC = 3.54, then to the 0.1 for 1/10 years and CAGR is 13.47%now you can compare returns from syndications to buying VOO or QQQ etc We had a third party track record verification report done and the company who does these (do them alot for mutual funds etc) was asking some of the most basic questions that I thought were no brainers - so I asked - "what are the other ways to calculate these things"?

But the class C areas, our new constructions used to rent within a week or 2 right now are sitting on the market for over 30 days.
