Yeah I know it's slower than the summer, but still...I guess I'll wait another week.Yeah I love the geniuses who contact me saying they can only afford half the rent...then stay where you are, I'm not running a charity.

A good sponsor with experience in each facet of the project life cycle can create strong returns albeit in my example of a new build they would be on a more intermediate term. 

However, most of the plans we have done in that range are for affordable housing developers... market rate 3/2 does seem to be closer to 1,200-1,400.I have heard horrible stories about some of those "online plans" providers... sure you get plans, but there in Washington you need plans, structural calculations, electrical, foundations, etc...

I'm game...A snip-it from a post I did on this thread about investing in Wisconsin: Milwaukee is sitting on some of the most affordable housing in the country, is adjacent to one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has entertainment & food that rivals every major metro, it's sports teams bat way above average for a small market which attracts hundreds of thousands if not millions of people here annually, economic development has been happening at a level unprecedented since the '50s (we are breaking ground on the world's largest mass timber building in June), has a tech ecosystem on the ground floor of attracting major talents with partners from the fortune 500 companies in town... 

By forcing the prices to stay low, more people can afford to live there, which drives up the demand, which drives up the prices...

Does anyone have advice on finding affordable apartments to rent until I have enough saved?

Maybe set a commitment goal for each person and back that into how big a property you can afford.

My concern though is that many people wouldn't be able to afford it (this is high-rent Deltona), and if you are a family who can afford it - wouldn't you just buy?
