that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
Mario Niccolini Investing in a High-Risk Flood Zone (AE) – Worth It or Hard Pass?
20 February 2025 | 11 replies
.- Types of Floods: Includes heavy rainfall, storm surges, and river overflow.- Elevation and Distance from Water: Higher and farther properties generally face lower risk.- Rebuilding Costs: Higher-value homes may have higher premiums due to more expensive repairs.What This Means for Homeowners- Fairer Premiums: Properties with lower risk may see lower premiums, while higher-risk properties may face increased costs.- Gradual Rate Increases: Increases are phased in over time for policyholders who see higher premiums, with annual caps on the rate hike.- More Predictable Rates: Rates better reflect the real risk rather than just being based on a flood zone map.Example Scenario (Simplified)- Old System: A house in a designated flood zone pays $1,000 annually, regardless of its elevation or distance from the water.- Risk Rating 2.0: That same house may now pay $1,200 if it's closer to the water and more vulnerable or $800 if it's higher up and better protected.Flood zones still matter under Risk Rating 2.0, but their role has changed.

Adam Macias Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.
12 January 2025 | 8 replies
Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?
