Obviously, the companies will try to boost up the rental to entice you to choose them as they indicate they can get this rent; however, I've had analysis done with separate companies both came back with similar figures ~$2100/month rental (they have not performed an in-depth analysis just based on location etc). 

Minimal rehab is needed.

Right now it's only at $11 an hour so the impact is still minimal.

I would suggest purchasing a "rental ready" property that needs minimal work.

Expect a rate in the 6's for a loan of that size with minimal origination and a low/no doc fixed rate loan.  

I have seen very little online that forecasts a drop in rents and am looking for indications.

The bigger question on everyones lips is what happens next, many people are focused on what happens next with inventory and pricing and I think thats a major component, but my bigger focus is lending and the job market as those two indicators will give us a better idea of whats to come.

My research of sold properties for Worcester indicates the average newly remodeled multi-family is going for between 5% and 10% over asking and is under contract within a week of listing, so I think our experience is pretty typical for the Worcester market.

. $20 once a year and working with people easily more than pays for itself in minimizing turnover.

Their perception of low- and high-risk markets is oftentimes exactly the opposite of what a careful examination of the facts would indicate.
