The rates are higher still but as you increase your investor maturity profile and have multiple SFR's you most likely may end up getting a portfolio loan. 

My questions: 1) In 2019, should I be concerned about my ability to attract good tenants without having central air in a SLC duplex built in the 1950s?

I do understand that when / if the assessed value increases, so will the property taxes. 

In speaking to the PM company, I was told that the delinquency on the 12 month P & L tracked the monthly change in delinquency; if we started the month with a delinquency of $1000 on the first and at the end of the month it was $1500, only $500 would show up for that month's delinquency and the overall delinquency balance increases.

If you can increase the income through a legally zoned apartment you will increase the value of the building not just your cash flow so its at least worth pursuing. 1) Call your local zoning board.

Around us there are several properties listed with "currently rented" rates that make the deal very attractive from a monthly income point of view, but you don't know what you don't know.

The reality is ff we don't close, our capital is tied up, holdings costs continue to increase, and we can't move on to the next property.

Hello All,I'm interested in some valuable feedback on the multi-family real estate market in Greensboro, NC.My research has been formulated from various sources; however, I would like to hear from a few BP members that are in the trenches and/or currently invested in this market.Key indicators like job and wage growth seem to be holding steady for the last several years and property values seem to be increasing steadily.Can someone give me their view on the current cap rates & vacancy rates in their comp set?

However, a well thought-out JV is very attractive to me.
