I think that Chat GPT hilariously acknowledges, however, that if this person then goes on to run for governor of Colorado, then, despite their likely lack of time and attention to the money I put into the investment, that they are likely to put up phenomenal returns as a nice bonus of either being in office, or being a threat of attracting any meaningful percentage of the vote in that state before dropping out and endorsing an eventual winner.

Jonathan Small 50% Rule vs DSCR > which do you use to calculate a good rental
7 February 2025 | 5 replies
However, they approach financial health from different angles.The 50% Rule is a quick estimate that suggests operating expenses (excluding mortgage principal and interest) will roughly equal 50% of the property's gross income.The DSCR is a more precise calculation (Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service) that determines if a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations.Deal example:- Class C middle class neighborhood- 4bd / 2ba single family house- ARV: 190k- Purchase: 105k- Rehab: 35k- Market rent: $1,400-1,525- Section 8: $1,475- Property manager: 10%- Taxes: 125 month- Insurance $1250 yr- HOA: $55 month- purchased and rehabbed with all cash.

Scott Trench Trump Policies Will Put Downward Pressure on Real Estate Rents/Prices
4 February 2025 | 2 replies
However, the implementation of tariffs, or just the threat of tariffs, is likely to influence rates, by impacting inflation numbers, and this influence may come quickly if prices for many common goods and services and raw materials rise in anticipation of tariffs, or in response to their implementation. - Put downward pressure on demand: I personally believe it is unlikely that Trump actually deports millions of illegal immigrants who have settled in the United States.

Don Konipol Passive Investor Strategies vs Active Investor Strategies

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.
