All 3 units were occupied very quickly and the property is now cashflowing above our projections with vacancy rate (so far) below what we expected!

Marie is an old city with a high vacancy rate, declining population, poor tenant quality, and will never see any meaningful appreciation.

The only downside to these is they are typically higher interest rates and shorter terms. 

After doing this, I then run the property through Airdna.co and/or Mashvisor.com  Both of these tools will give you projections of what type of rental rates, price per night, bookings, occupancy, seasonal variations, etc. 

Our broker mentioned that the average interest rate is 7.5-9% and they have never seen the rates drop below 7%.

So one by one they halved the values and almost doubled the tax rate.

I look for low crime rates, good schools, high rent to value ratios sometimes as high as the 3% rule. 

The conventional loan rate was 7.625% for 30- years on a selling price of $100k What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Guess what since previous weak tenant was market rent you are losing your ***.I look at high cap stuff when it's few years left ( blend and extend ) or it can be weaker tenant at higher cap rate like 10 cap BUT I want them paying about half the going market rent for the building size or less in that market.

Their needs vary over time and the market interest rate varies.
