Real estate companies that embrace this new reality will emerge not only compliant but more resilient, more attractive to investors, and better prepared to navigate the future of the industry.

It's not negotiable.Most brokerages have failed their agents in preparing for this.

Hi Carole,In a competitive market, the most effective financing strategies involve being prepared and proactive.

Being an agent will take a year or so to get off the ground so be prepared if you go that route.

I have definitely come across some awkward occurrences that I was not prepared for in my lease agreement.

Big enough to have some staff and some marketing reach, local name recognition, battle tested, etc.4.

I don't advertise on Craigslist and FB marketplace-I rely on word of mouth  so people know before they come to my house they WILL be tested multiple times a week and WILL have to go to AA meetings, do their chores and be a TEAM player with the rest of the house. 

If you are a landlord I would strongly recommend that you seek professional property management solutions elsewhere or fully be prepared to chase down your property managers for their services.

It's great that you're naturally a saver and already thinking about balancing enjoying life today with preparing for the future.

That is owner occupied starting 2025.I will test (if approved) STR or MTR…on the other unit, but also Besure it works for LTR.We both have good credit, DTI is way low, great jobs, and money saved to start this process.Here in Lexington KY I feel it’s hard to find duplex in a decent area unless it’s over $500k.We each prefer under $300k for a duplex.
