Hey All, just a new investor here venturing on buying second property as an investment in Lehigh valley county in Eastern PA.

This is a national and even some intl group.  

Hahaha thats a clever name that is suspiciously close to the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program).

This implies that the investment should be viewed as a long term investment for it to achieve a good return.2 recent national studies both showed that in virtually every large US city, it is initially cheaper to rent then to purchase.  

I have documented multiple instances of what I consider to be cyberbullying and unprofessional behavior directed toward me.As a licensed real estate broker, you are held to a higher standard under the guidelines set forth by both the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Code of Ethics.

Nationally I think there is a lot more fraud overall, not only rental applciations but loan applications, social engineering scam with emails etc.

They’ll understand the area better than national hard money lenders and are usually more flexible with first-timers.2.

I started with him when he was doing turn key houses that we funded.. he gravitated to larger development deals that can be tough to place.175 parcels pre sold to a national builder who released 3 mil in EM.  22 mil contract to buy exiting first 5 mil  so we are junior but also have a collateral assignment of the purchase contract and other guarantees.. having speed an being the sole underwriter on this one ( ME) based on history( I funded 2 other developments for him one in Colorado one in GA) We got it done..

I can see a scenario where we slide into an AI-bubble (stock market) triggered recession, see unemployment go up, home prices go sideways for a couple years, mortage rates go down to around 5%, inflation keeps driving wages up and you take it all together - takes the edge off affordability.Milwaukee is seeing yet another year at a little over 7% appreciation - in a couple years we will have caught up to the national average.Your comment "House prices don't "have to" do anything, People are just not to sell their house, why would they?

On a national call with other apartment owners last week, all were reporting a softer than normal September and October.
