What I have heard is a winding down of military workforce from our current administration in office.That means some bases experience a reduction or an outright closure.I focus on commercial real estate but I do look at this metric.

The first tier receives a 25% reduction on their assessed value and the second tier earns a 35% reduction in their assessed value. 

Risks such as non-payment, general vacancy, theft, drugs, vandalism, lease-up duration, as well as market risks such as price reductions or falling rents. 

You want to be sure you will break even in the case of a significant reduction in rental rates.

:No magic pill, no secret listing, no brilliant strategy.

If you owe $30k, then in 10 months you will have your PI back in your pocket each month which may also coincide with a reduction in the fed rates. 

The material prices were at an all time high so it was a challenge to swallow that big pill while we were building.

Less competition, Sellers are becoming more open to concessions (just got a price reduction of $91K for one of my investor clients) and as mentioned before, if and when rates drop, FOMO will likely kick in, and while everyone else is scrambling to buy, you can to bank on the appreciation and just refinance.I also don't think some people strategize well.

Ask for a price reduction, if no luck.

I had a recent seller who agreed to reductions only if they closed by a certain date, and any delay was a $1,000 reduction of closing cost assistance per day.
