Mortgage bonds are rallying in tandem, with UMBS 6s up 8 ticks, trading in the mid-102s, and 5.5s gaining traction as the new current coupon.Fed Funds futures now reflect a near-certainty of a rate cut at the November or December FOMC meetings, with some strategists even floating the possibility of a half-point cut if labor softness deepens.

The monthly midterm rental strategy (MTR) can be a great supplemental strategy for STR or vacation rentals to help reduce STR risk, increase occupancy and revenue.

We have opened walls and found wiring down with lamp cord, wiring that was simply twisted with no box or wire nuts or tape inside walls, joists that were cut almost all the way through by plumbers running piping (fairly common even today), wiring with nails through it along with burn marks (ever wonder why old homes catch fire?)

Eventually, companies may become more aggressive in cutting costs, especially labor expenses.Starting October 1st, partial mortgage payments will be significantly reduced due to stricter eligibility criteria: borrowers must be current on student loans and other debts and are limited to one workout option every two years.

Also if you have significant funds set aside in reserves you can use that to supplement your rent as well to make a deal debt-service.
