Cosmetic fixer upper, potential to build $100K-$150K equity between 2024 and 2026 (assuming market stays exactly the same with no increase or decrease in market pricing).June 2026: Listing both properties for sale and (if they sell at desired price points) seeing potentially 300K-400K profit (Between both locations) that we would not need to pay capital gains tax on.In any case, my wife and I are looking into this as next investment, but wanted to put on this forum to see what you all think? 

Investors in Q4 of last year changed from either increasing or decreasing exposure to a wait and see, which makes sense as they are waiting to see what the Fed does.

Ironically, the neighbors that were issues moved on after he bought a new place.This is very interesting actually as there's no general trend.With increased rate and increased supply in FL, we expect price to go down.But with increased rate and decreased rate in CA, we still price going up.There's supply/demand factor too but there's no general set trend.What I noticed is that market with DOM less than 5 , the interest rate does not matter.

This will decrease the amount of your out of pocket expenses.

One way or another, however, the investors must work to pay down loans, increase rents and decrease expenses wherever possible.

It also returns significantly more money while you wait for the next deal (with the risk of the value of your holdings decreasing when you need it).Feel free to message me if you have any questions.  

I've played around with the numbers so I can see the change if the purchase price goes up by $50K or if the cash flow decreases.

@Patrick Philip You will be looking for opportunities to increase income or decrease expenses.

In this way, he's generating more income which soaks up his passive losses and therefore decreasing his overall effective tax rate.You maintain control over your money, you're earning more tax-free income, and you're investing in (theoretically) higher ROI assets than what would be available through a 401(k).
