How do you all see the market going? I am looking at buying a foreclosure, and renting it out. A mentor of mine that does housing advised me against it due to the “market crash” but I don’t see it happening. Especially given our market faired very well through the last recession, due to our emphasis on Federal Jobs (amongst other industries such as healthcare, consulting, education) so we’re a pretty solid market. What are you all’s thoughts? I don’t want to be upside down.

I believe this is the cheapest homes will ever be.

Even if prices drop because of rates, that means the total cost will rise

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. 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?
