Inflation is actually it's own market equalizer.

Act now, have them corrected or else FIRE No not taking any additional fees just not reporting it correctly and inflating my 1099 since it included the utility.

Last high inflation period the fed rate hit just under 21% so consider a safety net. 

Be careful with wholesalers who offer you a property with an inflated ARV and an under estimated repair cost just to get you to take the assignment. 

The issue I'm seeing with many do-it-yourself owners is they are not allowing the "rent cork" to float with inflation, they don't understand the nuances of the local market, and they generally run from "value adding" to their properties that would allow them to collect above market rents (this is my specialty). 

Price is a lot better then buying at hyper inflated prices!

Is it worth purchasing a property to house hack that doesn't cash flow all that much and wait for inflation to increase my rents and equity? 

And with interest rates being about half of inflation, buying real estate is a financial no brianer.Investors often talk about the opportunity of our lifetime and refer to 2008.

To make things a bit more difficult, it seems that any property that comes close to cash flowing is scooped up very quickly by more experienced investors in my area, who also seem to have more cash-on-hand to throw at it.I know markets are competitive everywhere right now and inflated prices are making deals even harder to find. 

As you probably know, Sugarhouse/Liberty Wells is a neighborhood that has some characteristics that are uniquely advantageous for appreciation.Specifically, the natural boundaries of the mountains the North and East, and the man-made boundaries of the interstates to the South and West are probably a big factor in driving appreciation in that area (since supply of single family houses inside those boundaries is limited--and there are very few new single family homes being built inside those boundaries).Not only is that beneficial for inflation, but it makes your property in-demand for renters who will pay a premium to be inside those boundaries.
