I often hear, "Oh, I didn’t know" or "Oh, I forgot about that," followed by reluctance to go through the effort of gathering the necessary documentation.

@Nick Henry this also comes down to how much time you have available and how much effort you are able to put into purchasing a home or building and doing renovations and then finding quality residents to live and take care of your asset.

Buy on market, nothing wrong with that.

I don't know how much you have but a build to rent triplex all in our market is 150k liquid normally with full return of capital in 9 months.

Wow, what a rollercoaster 2024 was for the housing market.

@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

I'm also concerned about the real estate market as a whole.

Quote from @Akintunde Aboaba: I’m looking to start investing in real estate this year and would appreciate insights from experienced investors on the best strategies in today’s market.

Time in the market beats timing the market!

Quote from @Joy Daniels: I manage short-term rentals in the Sarasota area, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to boost occupancy rates year-round.From your experience, what marketing strategies have had the biggest impact on keeping your properties booked?
