Personally, I like Indianapolis and Kansas City due to the fact that they have a good combination of strong economic/demographic trends, affordability and cash flow.

I just did a follow up search and got a list of :ForeclosuresDelinquent Property Tax Sales of Milwaukee CountyFor Your City Oak Creek, WIhttps://county.milwaukee.gov/EN/Administrative-Services/Economic-Development/Foreclosed-PropertiesRACINE COUNTY, WI Foreclosures Map:http://racinecounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?

That isn't including any potential rental income or salary increases; it's just what my current circumstances are.So, while part of me wants to jump at the chance to get a multifamily house right now since I'll need a place to live in just 3 months anyway due to my lease ending, the other part of me looks at how much better of a financial situation I will be in this fall and thinks I should just wait.I totally agree though, if we get more good economic reports then the interest rates will increase, potentially negating any benefit I'd get in waiting until this fall.My credit score is 630 now, and I can't imagine that paying off all of my credit card debt would catapult me into a 700+ credit score by this October for a considerably better interest rate.However, right now, I'm only eligible for amongst the worst interest rates due to my poor credit score.Sorry, this was super long, but I at least listed my main concerns and goals.Regardless, I need a place to live in a few months though.

Those numbers run about 16% higher.I'd speculate that these are some of the reasons: We can expose it to more potential buyersWe are better at marketing and negotiating than a laymanWe have tricks of the trade to stimulate a bidding war (I've recently sold properties at $42K and $46K over asking - and I got one of those buyers to waive his home inspection!)

We live and all our properties are located in the Washington DC metro area, so we have good job growth and economic outlook (however we all know how that can go 🙄)Curious to hear your thoughts 😊

This is almost the end of the economic growth cycle with little steam left.

Foundation issues happen a lot due to the soil in Texas I personally chose too invest elsewhere when I was living there but it’s a great market economically

Likewise the economics of renting the new unit do not work, so no 1031 for us.I think that leaves me hoping that there is a way to treat the sale of the new unit as a capital gain?

Economic cycles never stop spinning.

Are there more economical alternatives to sealing a wall without using a backhoe and a building foundation excavation?
