I have recently come across two separate deals, where the owner does not live in the house, but will not sell because the properties have sentimental value to them.

I run a real estate data venture that pulls from various private and public sources and curates these reports, so it's not a simple answer.Social Sentiment: Search demand and what people are saying online.Neighborhood Class: Cleanliness, crime, graffiti, and overall health.Demographics: Identify market segments & trends.GDP & Economic Growth: County-level GDP changes to assess economic vitality.Poverty Metrics: Analyze economic challenges.Construction Activity: Easily predict market supply.Occupational Diversity: Forecast housing & commercial needs.Education Insights: Understand community stability.Real Estate Trends: Identify property value & rental cycles.Houston was just a place where I felt like sharing some knowledge.

Hey Francys, I've been investing in Detroit since 2019 and I've also been working with investors for the last 18 months.The sentiment has drastically changed over time and here's how I'd sum it up.In 2019, when I purchased my first rental in Detroit proper (not the suburbs), I was told that I was crazy.

I completely agree with the sentiments expressed.

Thank you for sharing your encouraging sentiment on your first "down to the studs" rehab.

As best you can find out the regulations and if possible the sentiment of the community. 

I agree with the overwhelming sentiment here that it's a bad idea... however, what about a non-alcoholic wine?

I share the same sentiments. 

What I take issue with is an GP manipulating ( talking general not this specific thread) debt and then setting best cap super low cap exit range that might be reasonable for a limited period of time if everything goes close to perfect.You have debt and investor sentiment change with economic times and boom that plan is out the window.What likely happened is when rates were low everyone was chasing capital from LP's to leverage and raise less equity per deal.

This property holds a lot of sentimental value for me, and I’m excited to see it contributing to my investment portfolio.
