The interest rates are definitely making it a hard market to get into.

Would like to see if we can connect online (zoom)Also, I have some information from Iowa Real Estate Commission.

Reason I ask is the market rents are way higher in the area and the asking price does work with currents. 

It’s all about marketing. anyway.  

Unless you're buying under market value or with all/mostly cash, it can be tough to be cash flow positive on a rental property here, and extremely unlikely to find any that meet the 1% rule as a LTR.

I use a google voice number for advertising/marketing properties and first name only for advertising on the internet but my full name is on my lease and i give all of my tenants my personal cell phone number.

Networking and asking others in your market may be your best bet.

The market is pretty confident the Fed is going to lower rates at least .75% before 2024 ends, which will spill over into mortgage rates.Side note: Your closing costs seem crazy high for a refi. 

We have 3 months left of 2024 which means now that the rates have spiked down hundreds of thousands of people will come to the market with an offer.A large number of new home buyers and investors means multiple bids and offers plus more coming in over asking price.

So I'm in the market for a new broker/agent and a new insurance company for at least one building and possibly more.
