Likely story - high apparent cap rate & CoC, but reality is C/D neighborhood and tenants yielding headaches, collections, evictions, repairs —> little/no effective return

So you’re cash flowing $675 per month ($8100 per year) on an investment of $17,000? That’s a 48% cash on cash return. I’d say that’s pretty good. I feel like we’re missing some additional information…

This doesn’t add up. If it looks too good to be true…

Something tells me that the tenants owe back rent, and/or there are significant maintenance items that are long deferred and coming due. A $10k or $15k roof job, or a repipe or foundation issues kill your gains. Something smells fishy here 🐟

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
