This isn’t just good news; it’s the biggest monthly leap we’ve seen in a year, and it’s even left the experts pleasantly surprised.Let’s Break Down What’s HappeningHere’s a quick snapshot of the latest trends that show the market's heating up just in time for the spring selling season:- New Listings: Barely nudged up by 0.1 percent to 680.

I had a home built by a local builder a few years ago and have been interested in getting into being an investor for a home builder.While I believe a typical arrangement is a profit sharing type of arrangement, I had a few questions:1.

For context the seller paid all fees and I removed PMI after 2 years due to rapid appreciation which saved 150 roughly.

I had to do this last year.

We did get negotiate money from them to help with roof repair, but now know they were not honest on their disclosure.Our inspector missed code violations, HVAC issues, pipes that had been worked on and issues hidden that had occurred while sellers lived in the house, signs of drainage and water damage inside the house that had been painted over, completely blocked dryer vent...and we are finding more daily.We have had the house looked at by a structural engineer and HVAC techs that has told us we need thousands (likely tens of thousands) of dollars worth of repairs to make this property able to rent and come up to code for rental. 

Cash flow has not been easy to get in the last few years due to the appreciation home saw due to the Pandemic.

I’ve been investing for 15 years with rentals, flips and BRRR.

, is this something that would be offset if you just hold the property after a 5 year estimated proforma with a 3% appreciation/rent increase?

Do I take a chance on a property that may not cash flow for a few years?
