These vintage Detroit homes are lovely but they sure are higher maintenance due to their age.

Age of roof, ac units, furnace 7. 

Hey Andrew, I know this post is old, but it appears to have aged very well. 

Well... as we can see... predictions on this thread didn't age well ; )August 2, 2024 - Current 30yr Fixed - 7.532%Bought a house at 6.5% and mortgage broker swore rates were going to 5% by end of 2023... and here we are lol

Once I show the Landlord my process, there is no need for them to question why I approved a certain individual because they already know my screening was stringent, fair, and objective. 

Especially in todays' day and age with all the chaos going on in the world.It's important to have a vivid vision and use that keep yourself going when the going gets tough!

That being said STR is still a great investment vehicle, but more stringent and conservative underwriting should be adhered to.

The quality and age of property is important too.

Age and families do mellow people.

One thing you can also do is work as loan Broker for Investment properties, there aren't any age requirements, reach out to me directly if you are interested.
