Qualification is based off property income and LTV's can range from 55-70%.

As far as moving out to maximize cash flow, I would first focus on your property that you are in now.

So far it's been great, I was very nervous at first but I found great info in the forums and youtube videos that helped me take the first steps.

To each his own  I prefer a  hands off approach:) 

You know it’s funny back when I was flipping in dc pre covid, I was always amazed at the prices and in the back of my head was like I cannot believe people are paying 800-1 million to be in a tiny rowhome in a frankly pretty rough area, now of course everyone who didn’t grow up here throught it was just was the way it was, but growing up here I tried to explain to everyone just how bizzare it was that the city was so much more than then the burbs, (from 06 on there were entire areas that went up fourfold, where as the burbs were kind of flat for a decade) I won’t say I saw dc’s crash coming but it seemed so unnatural to me having grown up in the area, I also don’t think we’ve seen close to the bottom as far as urban real estate, as you said you can still trade a house in the city for one in the burbs but really given how urban living is + remote works, cities should be significantly less than an equivalent burb.

What are some things that you can write off?

We ended up resolving all and getting paid off on these four assets. 

I also tell people the following:-If we have another crash like 2008, we have far bigger problems than you finding a deal.

If we go off of an average of 35% expenses (I use 35% for properties older than 10 years and 25% for properties 10 years and newer), then we sold that duplex at a 4.75% cap rate.  

We have not seen the property value decreases so far that some other areas of the country have experienced.
