Good time to invest in real estate to rent out? I know rates are high but seems anytime is bad and good at same time bc there is no "right"time. Looking in Chicago suburbs. What does rental market look like?

You can buy in any market, the only thing that changes are the amount of deals that make sense. I was not actively looking because of the high rates, but I’m going to see a house today because I think I can get a really good deal on the price, and it makes sense from a cash flow perspective.

EY1, I haven’t sold any of my properties before, so I don’t know all the reasons but here are a few. All cash deals are quicker because you don’t have to deal with getting approved for a loan, overall less paperwork. In worst cases sellers want to to do all cash because they know their properties won’t pass FHA inspections or banks appraisals, so all cash is safer for them.

2019 was the right time.

If you find the right deal, then yes.

Fewer properties pencil out at current rates, but if you can find a good deal and/or can add value, then there’s ways to make it work.

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home.

However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
