I really want to do an apartment building but i want to build a track record first of smaller deals and just looking for a strategy to get into deals similar to a subto or wrap.whats an agency loan?

Much of the negotiations during due dilligence depend on demand for that specific property- hopefully your agent has build leverage in to your contract that they can use to help you with this piece. 

As a realtor in the Boston area for the last ten years, and successful AirBnB owner up in NH, I’m ready to shift my focus to building a strong cash flowing portfolio.  

Quentin, build your knowledge, make sure all this is done correctly.Banks rarely call the loan just because of the deed being transferred, something else triggers this, mostly because the investor decides education is not worth the money.It can be because the Insurance was not done correctly, the seller does not understand the process, the Title Company does not know what to do so they call the Bank and make a mess out of the process and a few other factors,If the investor is knowledgeable on what to say to the Bank if they call this is a fairly simple conversation to have.

.- They asked for 100% upfront payment for the build and setup costs.

Things just require more ongoing expenses percentage wise out of state because you have to pay people to do everything for you and you will have a longer time building relationships with vendors even when getting decent referrals. 

Those are some of the unique things we offer in addition to helping each investor build a strategic investment plan & roadmap to achieve your specific goals.

I am a district manager with a company called Build 2 rent, and i live in Cape Coral.  

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

You are doing the right thing to build relationships first!
