With the Fed continuing to push up interest rates (another .75% rate hike today 11/2) and related 30 mortgages for retail buyers at or above 7%, buyers have taken a large inhale and are firmly sitting on the fence with sales volumes dropping 80% in some of our local zip codes from 6 months ago. 

How much Section 8 will give you is determined by how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have plus the zip code the house is in.

That way you minimize your chances of letting a previous deal’s hard-coded numbers ruin your projections.#6“I’ll buy for $100k a door, do $20k a door of renovations, and sell for $150k a door.”Underwriting can be overwhelming but don’t oversimplify the process.
