Especially with these inflated values, it's a great time to get one set before a potential shift. 

You’re seeing the side effect of too much work, not enough contractors and inflated cost for supplies to do the job.  

I also see it as an inflation hedge given everything that is going on.Here is the challenge... the house is tenant occupied until July of 2022 which means I cannot get a OO rate.

I did not speak directly to the PM so I would need to verify if these numbers are inflated, whether they include cleaning + state and local taxes, or not, as those are pass through.

Soaking wet, that house would sell for about $70,000 today, well below the baseline rate of inflation for the past 70 years! 

OO Duplex increases what value loan you qualify for.If your goal really is primarily a cheap entry price, there are many midwest markets that historically have appreciated below the rate of inflation.

With the current housing situation leading to inflated prices, my guess is your tenant may be renting for a while.Best of luck!

It's also worth noting that rents will likely continue to go up with all the inflation that's around the corner, and your payment stays relatively fixed.  

Probability of increased inflation is strong in the current government spending mode.

The inflation alarm bells are on high alert, and investors are jittery.Inflation is unavoidable at this moment, with economists forecasting inflation for 2021.
