That improves the block, raises tax revenue, reduces blight, and gives buyers move-in-ready options.If investors stopped buying distressed houses tomorrow, you’d see:• fewer renovated homes• more unsafe/dated properties sitting vacant• lower neighborhood appeal• and fewer entry-level houses anyone actually wantsThat doesn’t help affordability, it hurts it.The real driver of rising prices is supply versus demand, not whether an investor bought the house first.

@Gin Zhuang The Ciy of Flint, Michigan had a major issue with lead pipes a few years ago that scared a lot of people.What people fail to realize is that MANY homes in this country, built before 1950 have lead pipes from the city supply and may have internal lead pipes. 

For consumers, the affordability benefit is modest—monthly payments drop slightly, but total interest nearly doubles, slowing equity growth and potentially inflating housing prices without addressing supply constraints.

.- My guess is they have enough funding sources and track record to be competitive in the marketplace, but ultimately supply and demand will dictate what they can offer

Right now, the market has slowed a bit but there is still not enough supply (and most of it not that great) so I am sure yours will stand out from a "feel" perspective when a potential buyer walks the property. 

@Matheus SouzaInvesting in out-of-state markets like Cleveland and Columbus can offer accessible entry points for first-time investors seeking multifamily properties with your budget constraints.Insights on Cleveland: The multifamily market in Cleveland is showing signs of stabilization in 2025, with rebounding demand following a period of supply adjustments.

They were Class C and D, which take a LOT of time to stay on top the tenants.Padsplit does this, but only with Class A properties & corresponding tenants.Also, be aware YOU will have to supply kitchen, living room, laundry and other common area furniture and such. 

The market is always in flux and based on current supply & demand which is affected by current mortgage rates & other macroeconomic conditions and supply available at the moment.I would not recommend waiving your inspection unless you are an experienced investor.

However, supply isn't as much in Houston for lower price points, higher price per sqft.

As far as the markets go, things are moving quickly due to the backlog of buyers but my data suggests that supply will slowly start to creep upward as we get out of the summer and into the fall and hopefully as supply increases prices will deflate from the over inflated numbers we have been seeing over the last years or so.
