What are the 6 investment metrics?

[@Afrolatina_adventurer]

The perfect video for me at the perfect time. I felt seen when you mentioned the metrics not being the only thing to consider when owner occupying and being hard to calculate for a duplex. Glad to know I'm not necessarily failing bc Im not cashflowing enough. Quality of life matters but can't wait to move out the prop and put the whole thing on the market and use the duplex as an asset with training wheels for my future quadplex

I was getting frustrated trying to figure out the route I needed to take when trying to buy a duplex. This helps me to understand the results long term vs what I would be getting at the moment. Great video.

I have a question and need your help. Briefly- I have an opportunity to purchase my neighbor’s duplex (in upstate NY, outside Buffalo). I currently own two other duplexes on my street. One was purchased in 1999 (and I’ve lived in one unit ever since), and the other in 2005. The housing market is taking a downturn after record high increased values in the last 2 years, and we’re in a recession. Some say the decline will last for a decade, longer than any previous decline including 2008. My concern is not really a decrease in property value after purchasing the next duplex this year. My concern is a possible decline in rental rates due to an economic/housing decline, after I base my analysis on current rental rates and purchase the next duplex.

[@lalainehart5882]

Thinking of buying our first fourlex in Houston area. The property is already occupied. What not to do and what to do ?

[@mahaabdul174]

Thank you for your help ☺️ I have a question for you please, if i buy a duplex and each unit rents for $750/ month and monthly mortgage payment is 1500$ per month, is that considered a good investment?

[@SageRealEstate]

Hello Maha, Please tell us what area you're looking at. A few questions that come to mind. What do other similar properties sell for? What's the price range? What's the interest rate you're being quoted? What has the rental market down in the last 10 years? Our rental rates up how are vacancy rates? In terms of appreciation how has your area performed in the past.

[@randomanon7040]

25:00 "Tenants don't stop paying rent." Come on guys, you're based in California, are you really going to gloss over the fact that California has some of the worst eviction laws for landlords? Everyone I know who owns investment properties in California has a story about loosing money on bad renters. Sure it doesn't justify never investing in real estate, but it's a legit concern that you should cover. Especially, in California that needs to be covered.

Very cool you should be proud of him. I also went to Lemoore High 🐯

[@michaellopez9800]

Do you guys offer property management?

[@SageRealEstate]

Hi Michael we do not offer property management. We can recommend 3 to 4 companies we know, like and trust in the city of Long Beach.

Discuss “Building your own quadplex when not available on the market”.

[@BillyKingAura]

what if what I know its an expensive area?

[@SageRealEstate]

Hello Billy I'm not sure what area you're referring to. But expensive areas typically appreciate more. Vacancy is less, the rental absorption rate is quicker.

[@SageRealEstate]

Also, in most cases there are less expensive areas nearby that you might still know fairly well due to proximity.

[@Mark-ql5ni]

I'm seeing homes in my area drop 25-30k in multiple cases just the past few weeks

[@SageRealEstate]

Hi Mark, A lot of homes were simply overpriced and as the market cools Sellers need to bring their prices down to realistic levels. Inventory is still significantly low but still a great time for a Buyer to enter the market.

[@ebblesr]

Waiting for prices to go down lol my father is 75 and hes never seen it happen.

True !
