I'm sure we'll see some value declines in various pockets of the country which appreciated too drastically in the last few years but the lionshare of DSCR loans are clustered in the midwest and south where it seems unlikely to me that we'd see 20%-25% drops.

@Chris DaleoDuring declines in the economy - land is one of the most volatile assets because unlike a single family home that someone lives in, people have no attachment to land and typically have little invested in it so they will walk away.

If it isn't, you can decline and then hire a company.I saved about 9K in actual tax...The companies I talked to wanted 40% of the savings...

I’ll kind of say the same thing I try to tell everyone, flipping in really tough rn, between the high cost of labor, the high cost of capital, and prices that seem to be going nowhere and probably declining in the condo space atm.
