I have an architectural background and love analyzing data sets about the market, economy and real estate.

However, we're in a very unusual time where rates are artificially low and will likely remain that way until the overall economy collapses because even the slightest rate increase seems to show how weak our economy truly is. 

Thinking about a heloc loan just because of options, term and keeping cash option on hand if economy turns next year.

Ideally where we can recoup our cash after rehab and see some positive cash flow.We have researched Cornwall, the economy & tenant quality seems it may be possible unfavorable?

It would be great to hear from people with experience in the San Antonio market how realistic it is to successfully BRRRR a rental property there.I think San Antonio has a lot going for it: job and population growth, diverse economy with durable industries, property values rising but still relatively affordable, the list goes on...However, I've been having a hard time finding deals (on the MLS) with the following criteria:- In decent neighborhood (C/B)- All-in costs are 75% of ARV- Cash-flow after a refinance where you pull out 75% of the ARVFrom what I've seen, the numbers in SA seem to work at around the $190K ARV price point.

Well, real estate is still doing ok and the economy is on fire with the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years.

Besides that it's all about jobs in the local economy.

I also see a lot of people are against investing in the Poconos because of the economy being so bad not enough jobs .

There are always deals to be had in any economy, it just may be a little more difficult to find the good ones at this point in the cycle.

However, for analysis purposes, I listed average rent, so if the economy takes a turn ill still be ok if I need to rent yearly.
