Real Estate Market Predictions for 2025Single-Family Homes: Prices will likely remain flat due to homeowners holding onto low-interest-rate loans, causing fewer properties to hit the market.

I talk to so many people who regret not getting a PM up front because they are having problems or high eviction rates doing it alone.

Some costs MAY qualify as startup costs if the rental rises to a qualifying trade or business level under 195 as well.

Interest on a HELOC is adjustable, if interest rates rise you are screwed.For you folks that weren't in real estate in 2003-2006 and when the market started collapsing in 2007.

"Buy the property, but date the rate!".

Overall, the rise of commercial paper has been a positive for the investing community IMO.   

That helps some...but your variable expenses also go up too - property insurance & taxes - so a lot of your rent increases go to offset rising variable expenses.I started at the age of 47 in 2018 and we bought properties fast and furious - 12 the first year, 10 the next, and 9 in 2021 and currently have 38 properties. 

From what I can tell, it seems like most of the very small towns in this area; tons of trailers, single family homes, no visible high rises or larger multifamily that I saw. 

If not I’d consider staying with the rental and raising the rent to market rate at lease renewal in May.

Rising values of the properties bailed us out of a potentially disappointing investment.
