Hi friends. I have a 3 bed 1 bath in Atlanta that’s been up for rent for some time now. My mortgage is 2k a month, and I’m not having much luck with prospects. I’ve heard you want a property to cash flow at minimum 500 a month. Interest rate is 3.89% so refinancing is not an option. Equity is sitting at about 150k. Considering selling at this point, but wanted to run it by this bowl as I’ve seen you all give helpful advice. What would you do?

What's your expected rent? You don't base the rent off of your financials but the comps. Dm me your address and I can run it through my rent analysis tool if u want

You care about financials when picking the property. Personally I'd not sell a property with sub 4 interest but that's me

I just dm’ed you. Property managers quoted me 2400-2800 but so far each one of them want me to go down to 2300. I moved all of my stuff of the house thinking it would be a quick rent.

Hey, let’s connect - I may want to buy it but need more info. Shoot me a message OP

Keep it and hire a property manager.

Thanks! The issue is the cash flow.

Welp! Finally got the axe today too. I didn’t even get to talk to my manager. One of the execs I support told me he’s very sorry and I was great, etc etc, but it couldn’t be avoided. Whatever. I kind of never want to work again. I’m heartbroken.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

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”.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
