There are a few in my area that I keep an eye on to see how successful they might be and I’m always looking for properties with potential to be something grand.

There's a few different ways to focus on a lower rate such as with house hacking and making the investment your primary residence, requesting a significant closing credit from the sellers for standard rate buy-downs (which I've had great success with recently), or utilizing lenders who offer short term rate lowering solutions such as 2-1 rate buy downs (again, ideally paid for by the sellers).

@Rene Hosman The only time I've seen them is larger buildings that have financing and the success of the project is contingent on a certain occupancy number, but then again what project isn't :) That being said, I'd always write concessions to start on the second month of full rent.

Any success stories?

Let’s discuss what’s working to navigate these shifts and make 2025 a successful year!

Focus on tenant screening, building a local team, and learning as much as you can, starting early sets you up for long-term success!

hope everyone has a successful 2025.  

Hi Sean, Within my 20 years of experience, owning 30 properties and managing over 300, I’ve seen busy professionals like you scale successfully while working demanding W-2 jobs.

Also, I wish you many success in 2025!

Atlanta MSA is great and growing, but Multi-Family supply coming on line there both now and through next year is significant, wouldn't this be a better/cheaper deal 1 year from now?
