While it’s difficult to find strong cashflow in this market today, some have found section 8 to help hedge this with government higher than market rent rates.

Its in Illinois, so if anybody knows of any state or federal credits that might work, please let me know.thanks

Hi James, Creating an apartment sanctuary where only tenants who own firearms can rent raises significant legal and ethical concerns under federal and state anti-discrimination and fair housing laws.

That means the total amount of tax revenue collected by local governments shouldn’t increase just because property values did.To ensure that, the county will calculate a certified tax rate that brings in the same total revenue as before—unless local governments vote to raise it.Appeals & Reviews: What to Do If You DisagreeIf you believe your new value is off, you can request an informal review by submitting supporting documentation (such as comps or a recent appraisal).Deadlines for informal reviews:Residential properties – May 9, 2025Commercial properties – May 16, 2025If needed, you can file a formal appeal by June 6, 2025.

I believe that the Federal Reserve is going to cut rates by 25-50 bps at it's September meeting (no emergency cut), but that 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates will rise to upper 6s low 7s around the same time, and Commercial borrowing rates, including for multifamily, will increase as well. 

That predictability is a plus for long-term cash flow planning.Infill Construction Opportunities: Submarkets like Northeast Columbia and Lexington are issuing more permits for small-scale residential construction — ideal for investors targeting build-to-rent strategies.Student + Government Rental Demand: With the University of South Carolina and a concentration of government jobs, Columbia offers a base of steady tenants in neighborhoods like Rosewood, Shandon, and Forest Acres.Landlord-Friendly Environment: Compared to more regulated cities, Columbia’s policies are still relatively favorable to landlords — especially those operating long-term rentals.💡 Investor Takeaway: Columbia may not be a “flashy” market, but it offers what savvy investors often value most: steady cash flow, growth potential in emerging pockets, and manageable entry costs.Anyone here currently investing in Columbia or considering it?

The government is corrupt and it’s not rare that investors loose everything.

County, State and Federal rights supersede the craziness that some random liberal city council & Obama impersonator try to pull. 

Currently from my research CBD is legal both Federal & State of CA. 

Most big companies are calling back remote workers or have already, and seems that the federal government might be as well.
