Hi, I live in Boston, where housing price is ridiculously high.

U.S. home prices have increased by more than 47% since 2020, according to a recent analysis by ResiClub of the Case-Shiller National Home Price Index, outpacing the growth of the 1990s and 2010s, which saw prices rise 30.1% and 44.7%, respectively.

Sure, a seller may offer you 5%, but if they're smart they will ask for a higher sales price in exchange for giving you an advantageous loan. 

In fact, we have a flip coming to market soon and we really needed stronger comps to support the price point we're going to be pushing.

Purchase price: $153,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Recently updated duplex with tenants in place.

Yep there is are also Opportunity Zones for failed 1031 transactions

When I told them the rental price, they were greatly disappointed.

We are sending a very clear message to those who seek federal funds that we intend to stand up for the cause of civil rights and expect them to do the same.John Trasvia, HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO), added, Prohibiting this form of discrimination provides an essential protection for many Americans, including disabled veterans, seasonal workers, and persons that are using housing choice vouchers to maintain housing for themselves and their children.

I was fortunate to buy it when prices were much much lower and got a great deal on it so we don’t have a mortgage on this building but if we did the cash flow would help with that as opposed to taking a distribution at the end of the year.
