Regardless of the perceived demand for housing, the actual demand ebbs and flows with the population and its growth or contraction.So, here we have a three-pronged puzzle:- Housing demand stays more or less on track- Housing growth is temporarily suppressed - Lending for home loans is severely inhibited by all the post crash checks and balances meant to tame a beast which has just killed itself.According to the laws of supply and demand, what happens to prices when demand outstrips availability (supply)?

We have funds to cover a down payment of a targeted fix and flip and a relative interested in offering the remainder of our offer in cash.  

Hello BP Community,I started my direct mailing campaign targeting apartment complexes between 5-100 units. 

That said, expect lenders willing to make loans at lower amounts and longer terms to have higher rates.What city are you specifically targeting?

I am targeting buy & hold in GA for cash flow.I also do tax deed for flips or wholesale

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

The area that I'm targeting has this duplexlisted for roughly 50k and has nearly $1200 of monthly income before mortgage payments.

Hopefully you have enough cushion in your original estimates to make your target profit.That's most of it.

Do you think your area can target market rate tenants besides section 8?

Carin Kveton , I would say that while you can read earth the target market and type of properties, the majority of due diligence would be focused on the deal sponsor, their track record, fee structure, etc.
