Despite the headwinds, sellers continue to see home prices grow, buyers’ appetite for housing remains high and bidding wars are still occurring.

Highly recommend Chuck and Angie Robinson at Exit Real Estate and Ryan Fox at First Neighborhood Bank in Parkersburg, WV

Many of the other nearby homes are larger, so I thought the demand would be high for a furnished 2BD. 

Hey Francesca, I highly recommend Innago as that's what I use.

From a rental standpoint there has been an influx of new supply (mostly high end) apartments that have both come on market as well as that are in the pipeline.

Apt 2 rented at 1300/mth (2 bd)I would call the rentals B-/C because they are in a giant metal shop and low grade materials.So gross income of 76K annually.Expenses:Insurance is currently $14652 annually but that seems way too low when SFH go for that muchTaxes are currently 2800/yr, but I expect those to nearly double if I pay his asking price (so let's say 5k/year.

If you buy in with a high rate, wait two years, and your property appreciates and rates come down, you get a double windfall when you refi because the payment goes way down and you have equity to pull.BUT, that is a big if in today's market.

The reason the fed's actions have been largely ineffective in curbing inflation is because keeping central bank rates high in this situation is the equivalent of throwing water on a grease fire.

You really have to watch the training videos (which i dread, i always feel like I can just figure it out as I go...), everything is hidden and not self explanatory.

I would highly recommend the lender I worked with on this and several other deals.
