We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.

A friend of mine from abroad plans to buy a property in CO or FL with a budget of $10 million, but she plans to use Bitcoin to pay for the house.

Hi Brett - local PM here - we have a few development projects, small multifamily and tonwhouses that we are gearing up for sale in the next 6 months.

We talked about an aggressive paydown at a rate of $5k for the next 6 months to make the deal sweeter for the next person, but renting it would be preferable to that I believe since I can get a higher return on smaller development projects at a burn rate like that. 

The seller has the two lots legally separated, but due to deed restriction imposed by the subdivision development, found that building a house on the “tennis court” lot was not allowable. 

I only have 1 property under my belt and am currently house hacking my SFH.

Something is missing...if there isn't a Board and the HOA (or I assume more likely a COA) is newly formed then why isn't the developer still in control of the HOA?

Our elected leaders have the unique opportunity to not only help small businesses, keep industries working, combat inflationary pressures in the housing markets and at the same time make housing more affordable for millions of Americans.Several factors contribute to the tight housing market, each influencing the others in a cycle of cause and effect.

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. 

There is an affordable housing crisis here in America.
