Evening from Alaska, My business partner and I are new to real estate investing and trying to get our first deal going in a high-interest rate market.

Or you could promise a certain interest rate then lower the rate by a percentage or two at closing.What can be done in todays market to underpromise and overdeliver?

The value adds and the market appreciation profits pale the cash flow (this is even with a duplex that cash flows over $5K/month).

You cannot use "short term rental income" to qualify on the subject property BUT you can use 75% of the appraiser's rent valuation on the 1007 market rent schedule.

of course you have to handle the inquiries… but it’s pretty easy… we’ve done it multiple times.Your 6% appreciation approximation is less than the 7% average return the stock market  does long term - and lately it has been blowing that figure away - though as they say - past performance doesn’t equal future performance.
