While markets had anticipated the first rate cuts as early as March or May, those expectations have now shifted to June or September.

In a really good market, an investor can achieve 1% of the money invested.

I live in Utah, where the real estate market has exploded to say the least through COVID, so investing in my backyard isn't something I'm interested in right now.I'm looking for a market with houses available to be renovated under $50k!

And my options are: -One $800k property in CA (25% down), or-Two $400k properties in ID (both at 25% down).If we take the 2015-2020 5-year appreciation (so as not to include the roller coaster and unlikely 5-year market we experienced from 2020-2025) for each state, the CA property would see an average appreciation of 37%.

For those who have or had section 8 investments (especially in my market) how would you describe your experience?

As far as markets go, there are tons of options, what are your goals?

Not sure why owners invest in rentals, yet do very little research on market conditions!

I haven't bought a deal or anything I'm still saving up, I'm at 25k I'll hopefully be ready to buy in the next three years, otherwise the city I'm buying in is Barrie which is generally a great appreciation market, I've got two brothers Chris owns two rental properties and Ryan just bought his first partnering up with my brother chrises second deal, so I might partner up for my first deal I don't know yet tho depends on what my brothers want to do.when shopping properties I do remember from the book you shouldn't buy properties based off cap rates but im wondering at the beginning do you first skim this information say the property is listed at a 6% cap rates which is common in the Barrie market would I then would go walk the property and see if things are viably ok, once I believe it's resdy for a professional inspection I'll get information about deferred maintenances mainly capex based off what I need to repier I'll be walking the property with the professional and I guess he'll give me a rough cost of How much everything that is needed and when I need to get the work done due dates, also I don't know how to calculate how much I should set aside in monthly terms after I get the required information from the inspector I'll be doing this for the first time, if the pure cash flow is incheck  I believe usually NOI is usually around 60% including appreciation and mortgage income andone going deferred maintenances around 35-40%, now I'm ready to make an offer?
