That's not *that* bad compared to some of the ugly stuff that's going on, so why wouldn't they expect to get the full amount back, even if it means having to pay up after the house is gone and sold?

So, do the math using the gross scheduled rent, your expense percentage, and your expected P&I payment and do the math yourself.Using some sort of rehab loan to get the property fixed up is a reasonable approach.

What are your thoughts on how long this downturn will last?

We eat off of Corelle and buy used cars.I fully expect to have turned over nearly all my wealth to my heirs well before I die.

How do I determine what rent I can expect?.

I mean obviously tenants are not going to take as good of care of the property as you would, so damage is expected.

If you want to fix and flip, look at fixed up houses, too, to get an idea of the market expectations.

I don't expect there to be any stock splits, as they have already split 2:1 twice in the past 7 years, but wait next year when google releases their phone software.

They still expect full price, often they have an inflated idea what their home is worth.

You'll pay more in utilities, insurance and interest payments than you expect.
