So you’re looking for more inventory, faster service, cheap/free delivery, large clearance section. 

Sure, houses were cheap at $10-20k, but when they need $20k on top of that and at the time rents were $600 for a 3bed.

Investors who have frequent evictions are buying cheap, unprofitable crapboxes. 

House hacking is a smart first move—it can help you live for free (or cheap) while building equity and learning the ropes of being a landlord.

I’m seeing this shift not just in hot Sunbelt markets, but also in overlooked Midwest metros where land is cheap and zoning is flexible.Here’s what I’m wondering—and hoping to learn from others in this space:Are you building specifically for rental yield vs resale comps?

I don't want to speak for their fees, but maybe on the cheap side $2500-$3500 are numbers I've seen a few years ago when I dealt with some banks doing them. 

There are many properties that make sense numbers wise, but when you walk through them you really understand why they are so cheap.

Hey yall,I’ve got 2 properties in the west end (both SFH, 4b2ba currently rented to section 8 for $1391, and 4b1ba I just finished rehabbing).Granted, I know it’s a D class neighborhood, the new property I’m trying to rent out is taking a while.I’d love to get other people’s experience of the market right now (Louisville doesnt get much love on the forums), but at least in the west end, finding tenants seems pretty tough tight now unless you’re offering a full rehab with a cheap price.Other thoughts:- My property manager has had multiple showings, but it seems like Section 8 has completely dried up.

His strategy is to buy CHEAP properties for $30,000 sell them for $79,000.

Being cheap is not how you make money in this business.
