Heating costs and interest rates dont help the numbers but demand is high and resale numbers have been impressive

We've got strong job growth (tech, healthcare, education), stable population growth, strong rental demand, and plenty of value-add opportunities in multifamily.

If the numbers don't seem to make sense, consider a cheaper (but still growing market) or just keep saving until you can do out-of-state investing. 

If there is an existing lender not agreeing in writing to accept payments from the LPO buyer, then you are in violation of the statute -- and it is a very toothy statute -- vs the seller/landlord side only thoughWe are getting ready to get one in place because the seller is demanding it and my client is the protected buyer.Yes -- you must vet your sub to buyers -- some should not be anywhere near a wrap transaction.Stay safe out thereAlan

This is a great area with plenty of opportunities to grow as an investor.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about deals, strategies, or just connect with other local investors.

As a lender the pros are that the funds can grow at a particular percentage that the funds are lent at.

I would consider selling if you have lived in the home the past 2 / 5 years since you have a decent amount of tax free equity in there but as long as you have a plan to reinvest those funds.By your numbers, since you have an amazing rate and high rents, I would consider renting it out if you believe your area will continue to grow in value.

With the right renovations, we saw it as an ideal project to maximize returns in a growing market, especially with our experienced partner, Seth Choate, by our side.

This is a growing trend in rentals to increase cash flow and help your community with affordable housing! 

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.
