The only slight red flag was that they only accepted payment via Venmo or wire transfer, but that's how I accepted payment when I was selling lead bundles, so I still thought it was worth a shot.

With a milder climate, lack of natural disaster, good economic opportunities, and decent governance, NC has a bright future.

Now is your shot to ask!

For syndicates with loan maturities after 2030, they even have a shot at making a positive return, and perhaps even a decent one considering what they've endured to get there.Kicking the can down the road:  Owners and syndicators hoping they can kick the can down the road by negotiating loan maturity extensions are likely to be disappointed. 

I would make you rue the day you collected that $50K assignment fee, which rightfully belonged to my family member, and I probably have a good shot at figuring out some place where you screwed up, or misled. 

Alternatively the other side of the city (Pikesville, Towson outskirts) still decent rentals but they are farther from employment centers.

Still decently affordable. 

We're willing to live almost anywhere in the greater Sacramento area based on what we can afford, provided of course that the property is in a decent neighborhood that has a good chance of attracting responsible tenants.As for budget, I believe we could get a conventional loan for properties up to $600k, but my strong preference is to find a distressed property (or seller!)

But again, it should only be used as a snap shot tool.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
