I haven't bought anything in over 3 years--instead I've been watching the multifamily market implode mostly from the sidelines, except for the thousand or so units that I still have. 

You will want to watch out for HOAs, that is where you will see rental restrictions. 

After watching the trends and digging into the numbers, one thing is crystal clear: New-home sales 2025are shaping up to be the silver lining in what’s otherwise been a challenging market.

Today, they are floating between 7.4-7.75%, depending on factors.Your best bet is to work with a broker who watches these things daily. 

Sellers who don’t need a lump sum upfront may be open to it.Biggest thing to watch is the balloon payment.

House hacking could possibly at least cut that painful expense so not saying you shouldn't do but really watch your numbers.

if they are pressuring you like this.PLEASE watch the American Greed Episode on Remmington Financial  .not saying these guys wont or don't fund of course.. but when I do my deals with my banks its common that I pay for the phase one and the appraiser directly..  

After all that some get the AHA moment that this business is not easy while others still think that its picking an apple from a tree. 

There is a certain shared happiness in the success of an investment and watching it grow, if done the right way.I have met someone recently who operates a private charity and gives back to the poor and downtrodden.

Can you send me the details as well so I can keep a watch out for any possible mischief events.Thanks
