Does anyone actually believe the reported inflation rate or that US denominated debts (worldwide) will ever be repaid? 

You can theoretically cash flow better if the stars align with a section 8 rental in North Philadelphia compared to a better situated property.

Some easily verified facts:- San Diego appreciation has been great - San Diego rent growth has been great- prop 13 protects against exorbitant property tax increases- San Diego has one of the lowest eviction rates in the country- San Diego has one of the lowest delinquent rent rates in the country- San Diego has a very low vacancy rate- historically for long holds, San Diego has produced near top in nation return.  

Now worth $650,000Step 5: Brought the four family rents up to market rate which is $5200 per month.Time to complete: 10 years.Cash flow went from $350 per month to $2,000 per month.Properties are now worth around $1,000,000.Success story BStep 1: Bought a condo in 2014 in a HCOL city for $200,000 and rented it to a roommate (house hacking). 

Directly North is still A market-Shawnee)It looks good with straight investor metrics using Fannie Mae conforming loans (25% down, 7.1% rate with a few points) and easy ARV monthly rent of $1700/unit ( I get this number based on the exact same floor plan in Raytown with complete rehab placing a tenant at $1500, and Raytown gets lower rents than Roeland Park KS.)

The rate is about 5.25% or similar for 5 years.

Parks get shuttered and sold for new development when park owners fail to keep rents ahead of inflation and competing CAP rates and other uses become more lucrative.  

Interest rates are high today, but do I wait and buy when rates drop or wait when prices jump? 

@Gerald Maczuga,The Long Term Capital Gains rates for 2024 include a 0% bracket for "married filing jointly" that caps off at $94,050.  

This sounds like it would possibly be a rate and term refinance since your balance will be $203,000.
