    The Fall Housing Market Could Be Red Hot—Here’s How Investors Can Profit

    Zillow reported that nationwide active inventory was up 22% year over year in August, although it remained 31% lower than the pre-pandemic level of August 2019. Meanwhile, new listings grew slightly monthly and yearly but were 21% lower than the same month in 2019.  In a separate report, Zillow reported that unlike at the height of the rate hikes, when renting was cheaper than buying, the opposite is true in 22 of the 50 largest U.S. metros.

    How Do DSCR Lenders Calculate Your Interest Rate?

    As interest rates finally start to fall after years of painful hikes, the DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan has made rental property investment attractive once more.
