Nationwide rates hit a low of 2.7% - so there has really never been a better time "spread" wise.It is certainly the most attractive it has been in years from a cash flow perspective.

Hey @Jim Glover, despite the hesitations you have on it and the corresponding downsides I think this approach would be solid if you can present it simply.One of the "hangups" with a HUGE potential pool of flip and BRRRR properties in my area (and likely nationwide) is that the same people who live there and are not readily able to install a new HVAC or put a new roof on would delight in the cash produced by their property, but don't have a ready place to go. 

I see home values rising 8-10% nationwide this year with this massive housing shortage for all the demand from millennials wanting to finally buy.

It makes me wonder if it’s a nationwide problem?

On my end, I have done my homework and I know this would have been an outstanding opportunity for a first flip for us. 

In the US, the general cap rate nationwide is about 6-7%. 

@Tj SimmonsTo answer your original question, I don't know if it is something weird about me individually, but for every property I have every bought, somehow Nationwide always is the cheapest, and that includes properties in multiple states and with large differences in the characteristics of the involved properties. 

It seems like inventory is low nationwide, and good deals for duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes are hard to find. 

We all work remotely and nationwide.

Most lenders that lend nationwide will not offer something like this.
