Do a declining lease option.

What would you state that would get you out of the offers you can't accept because you only have enough down payment for one offer.Another thing is I would imagine that if I'm going to find 10 duplexes to put an offer on, since most of them won't be a great deal, I'll have to put in a really low offer on those priced too high and most likely will be declined. 

I get an email next day from Zillow that the tenant account was flagged for not adhering to security protocols and the payment was declined to process.

It took a LONG time (and many declined offers) to find this deal.

Baltimore has cash flow, but not only is appreciation more random, but some neighborhoods actually decline in value quite often.

Hi Marta,The market is pretty strong although most commentators are predicting a small price decline for 2024.

More important is note terms & interest rate, how the note underwriting was done, did underwriting comply with the new Federal regulations put in place earlier this year, the lender's LTV, does the investor have a good mortgage servicer to service the note & to keep the investor in compliance, what the specifics of the property are (brick vs frame, bed/bath/garage, etc), is the property in a declining or appreciating neighborhood, is the note originated in a lender friendly State, in the event of default what is the foreclosure process in the State where the property is located and do those foreclosure laws favor the note owner or the borrower, etc.

That is not to say in certain regions of the Oregon Coast, the country and the world there is not still vacation rental ownership opportunity, but over the next decade, compared to the previous decade, clearly the margins are on the decline. 

Hello everyone, im looking to house hack my 1st property (a double) and was wondering a few things, with the market leveling off and soon taking a down swing, from what ive been told. what are some of the things i should consider in possible investments, such as the cashflow if any but i'd like to at least have the tenant rent pay the mortgage in full. should i look to purchase 20% under the assessed value to cover any decline?

The greater metro area fared similarly with a 1% year-over-year decline to $443,753.
