Doug Smith Why, Oh Why, Is the Fed's Inflation Target 2% (a rant)
21 April 2024 | 12 replies
Also FED has little to no control over 10yr, which is just the projected 10 year real GDP (2.5-2.75% today) plus the projected 10 yr inflation rate (2-2.5%) currently, and of course Cap Rates are typically 150-175 bips above that with a 9-12 month lag.Many smart economists like Dr Steve Hanke and John Greenwood at Johns Hopkins take the opposite position that 10 yr is going down big time soon, due to M2 money supply contraction of 3.5% over last 2 years, M2 has only contracted 4 times since 1913, and every time there has been a proportional recession.

Chris Hutchens Memphis TN buy and hold?
21 April 2024 | 15 replies
I never recommend out-of-state investors buy anything for less than about $55-75k all-in or, generally, it will be in an area that has a mediocre tenant pool with high turnover and bad turns when they leave; the price to rent ration doesn't matter when these items eat up your profit year after year.For multis, it's a little different, but I typically ask them to focus on units that rent for about $500-550 minimum to have an easy time managing them and finding quality tenants.
