I think most of us do, but the problem that I've discovered with 15% down programs over the past couple of years is the balance between the cost of the home and the rent it can garner.

I have two long term rental units now (6 years) and just exited a short term rental last year due to a good off market offer.  

This is supposed to be a 1 on 1 program. 

In fact, just finished one that I have yet to put on the market. 

I cashed out of crypto to buy the house of my dreams.

The residential lease market in Arlington County, VA, from January 2024 to January 2025 has experienced some changes:- Units Listed: The number of units listed decreased by 1, a 0.64% decrease, from 157 to 156.- Listed Median Price: The listed median price increased by $75, a 2.78% increase, from $2,700 to $2,775.- Units Leased: The number of units leased increased by 9, a 6.67% increase, from 135 to 144.- Sold Median Price: The sold median price increased by $75, a 2.68% increase, from $2,800 to $2,875.A slight decrease in units listed indicates a minor reduction in supply year over year, while an increase in units leased suggests a rise in demand.

I look forward to fostering a growth in knowledge, understanding, and connection by utilizing the tools and resources provided through bigger pockets.Thank you for your time,Brian Luter
