I have done a few BRRRR's and can tell you the interest rates have sure made the strategy very difficult to cash flow.

Landlord friendly for the most part, prices are still reasonable and rent rates are good.

The NYT stated the following:Home prices are slated to drop.

I wanted to confirm what you said both for myself and for other people who read this with the same question, so I did a bit of research to come up with the below example:If I make $10,000 a year from my property, do not pay myself to property manage, and I'm taxed on income at a rate of 25%, I'll owe $2500 in taxes on that, and keep $7500.If I instead pay myself through an LLC to property manage at a standard rate of 10%, I'll pay tax on $9000 at 25% ($2250).

Each class has different tenant pools, appreciation, turnover rates, etc.

If you are looking at more DSCR type options for a stabilized property, then you can layer in market or actual rent, taxes and insurance estimates to calculate DSCR rate.

Your best hope is that the four vacant apartments are Market Rate apartments, which I doubt.

Higher interest rates.Conventional: Easier qualification and interest rates.

Otherwise, there are still decent flips in this market with rates the way that they are.As for the volatility/crash potential, there are people who get paid A LOT more than me trying to guess that, but I think in the end, that is why we do real estate instead of solely stocks, etc. because of the perceived 'stability' of real estate.
