Oversubsidized overbuilt apartment buildings may continue to keep rent levels fixed or declining. 

For example you finish the attic and add a 3rd bedroom or you take the already there illegal attic or basement unit which are common in Chicago and connect it to the legal unit for extra living space so now you have 3/2 duplex rents on what used to be a 2/1 simplex.

In this area, people usually rent for 1-12 months, and the rent is 30-50% higher than unfurnished LTR.

Only thing is other than personal finance, what other methods are there for funding, buy, rehab, rent out and hold type deals.

Minimum rent: $25007.

I would just use rentredi to screen tenants and collect rent payments. 

If you live out of these bounds feel free to stop by.The first event will be Nov. 12 from 6:30 - 8pm at the Starbucks in Stuart, FL located at 2294 SE Federal Hwy, Stuart, FL 34994. 

I'm currently house hacking a property in Raeford and plan on renting it out.

You most definitely can go in on a Fourplex with 3.5% down, primary residence, living in one of the units, find out what purchase power you have, and what the rent rolls for the other units will be to determine your cash flow. 

Or is it more advantageous to keep renting and buy an investment property to rent out instead?
