A weekly email for rental investors from Wyatt Wolff: one deal, one market move, or one guideline change that affects your next decision. Selected issues are published here; the rest stay email-only.
Local and county rental assistance programs behind a 2.1 DSCR long-term rental. Not Section 8. Better.
The STR squeeze, depreciation recapture, and why short-term rental owners can't just sell — the short sale as the investor's buying window.
Five to nine units works on the DSCR loan you already use. A live $1M Charlotte sixplex: 1.29 on paper, $451/mo in real life, and the tax record the listing didn't mention.
Portfolio note vs. individual notes: fancy debt is expensive debt. Plus how I run this operation with AI doing the robot work.
BRRRR didn't die — the 2021 version did. A real closed deal: $1,450 cash to close, a $315K rental at the end. The strategy is recycling capital, not the cash-out check.
Interest-only as a portfolio cashflow tool. The loan payment that's optional.
Single family as the foundation of the capital stack.
Everyone sells the same money. Rate shopping vs. lender selection.
