Reagan changed the student loan program, my building and many others almost immediately suffered a 50% decrease in occupancy.

I won't go as far as saying don't buy this program or that program but I will say, considering the line up that is going to be at the summit speaking and the comfort in knowing you're not going to be upsold any crap at the back of the room.

Our city decided a few years back to start a revitalization program to create a more vibrant, sustainable, and just community..

You can cut your loses not and sell at a loss or let it continue to bleed you of money each month.

I don't have the exact data at my disposal, but I would guess the raises have been roughly 5% if you weight them by the property values.

I assume the acquisition = $140K, estimated rent income =$1400, and expenses are tax = $216/mo, insurance =$130/mo, repair = $100/mo if any, vacancy loss (1 mo) = $116.67, NOI=$836/mo.

Everything I have seen since 2008 is just a scam.This company is out there actively promoting its program to 100% financing, no money down to poor fools that are trying to get in the real estate game and have less than $1,000 to do a deal.

It allows you to deduct the passive losses against other income.

I had not read about the 203k program.

While this is likely included in the 15-20% you have for maintenance/vacancy, I would up that number to closer to 20-25%.Overall, you should expect your expenses, vacancy/rent-loss and capital costs to be somewhere in the 45-55% range over the long haul (do some research here on "the 50% rule" for more info).
