To be honest, there is never a great time to buy except for the past with the present being a close second. 

@Bill Brandt first, if you are using year ago data to compare, you will certainly miss the turn and only identify the shift in the market in the past not in the present.

(our projects have all been internal)10: These models can be goosed or modified or enhanced by qualified opportunity zone funds (deferring capital tax until 2026/7. 11: We are only doing 3 story- easy to build, woody walkups- Nice apartments- (Quartz, stainless, nice kitchen bathroom)- These are so easy to build vs the luxury, podium, 5/2 style.  

Presenting the projections and future income matched with existing leases or rent rolls on a property has worked.

I manage the properties currently and defer all management costs, repair costs and a $500.00 payment fee to be remitted or applied to the sale price of the properties.These are some options I have considered when exercising the lease to purchase contractMore info: Each property has 3/bed & 2/ bath and approx 1250 sqft with 1 or 2 car garages.

I recently came across a Twitter post in which the individual was looking to purchase a home in Florida in the present market in anticipation of moving there several years down the road and thinking the local FL market being even higher at that time.

An owner occupant can live in a house with lots of deferred maintenance, even code violations and maybe no one ever sees the mess. 

They will have so much more knowledge because they can see first hand what businesses are working because they know how much they're making and ways to avoid and defer taxes.

They probably don’t have the records or realized “deferred maintenance” is a thing.Maybe some writing and simple math?

They may be one who is looking to get rid of the property so bad they'll listen to any creative financing options presented .One of the questions you should to be asking is , how can I wholesale that property if I have to?
