Transferring a property title later could be deemed a taxable gift if it exceeds the annual exclusion ($17,000 for 2024).

Hi Daniel, Columbus GA has properties much lower in price than the metro Atlanta area, you should do fine to learn your local market.

I have no future reservations on my books right now :(I put my VRBO rates are slightly lower than AirBnb to try to get intrigue more guests from them but I guess that doesn't work lol. 

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

Since I have a fixed-rate mortgage, I understand this wouldn’t lower my monthly payment but would shorten the loan term by reducing the principal faster.

Housing prices are high, mortgage rates are high, and competition is fierce so revenue is way downIt’s one thing if you bought a while back like many of us did, so your cost basis is much lower.

If you did, you could take advantage of some unique strategies, like renting it out while traveling (as long as it’s for 14 days or less) and having that rental income be completely non-taxable.

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.

By investing in metropolitan areas your yield would be lower (6% to 7%) but you would have a lower vacancy rate.
