Quote from @Tracy Thielman: I’m seeing an uptick in bridge loan usage, especially for investors needing quick acquisitions or waiting on long-term financing.Are others seeing the same trend?

It does cash flow but wondering if we can optimize it by changing the style of rental. 

Quote from @Erik Estrada: Quote from @Jason Wray: Erik,I am not sure and would never talk in a bad way about any business unless I used them but in the last 8 months I have had several customers reach out to fix what they could not accomplish on really basic overlay issues.I have been seeing a lot of these other AI type LOS type companies drop the ball during the electronic Approve U style 1003/1008 deals that lack typical DU/LP findings.Back in the day we would target this type of company data to reach out and either help on the 6-12 month refinance or the aged leads.   

Verify their experience in your specific area.Smyrna has a competitive rental market, so you will want someone who is knowledgeable about Cobb County and understands local pricing, tenant trends and county requirements.2.

if you don't meet current market trends/ competition on the MLS it could end up costing a lot more than the savings vs quartz. if it looks cheap there the alarm bells and over all impression set what a buyer is looking to pay they don't line item their price like we do.I flip 3-5 houses a year solo for the last 6 yrs.

Additional insight on other trends in the area are also greatly appreciated.

Determine what direction rents are trending by unit type and whether or not there's any additional upside in rents.

Your OPEX ratio is ~35% of gross, but normal coastal STR multifamily trends around 45-60%.How would you account for this? 

Quote from @Michael Santeusanio: Anyone investing in Detroit—what trends are you seeing in demand, pricing, or rehab costs?

I’m based in the Triad and I’m active on both the agent side and the investor side, so I’m trying to compare what I’m seeing in my day-to-day with what other local investors are experiencing.Here’s what I’m noticing from showings, listings, and talking with clients:Rents are still trending up slightly most renewals I’m seeing are $25–$50 increases.DOM on rentals has stretched a bit.
