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.

House hacking is an incredible way to live affordably while building wealth through real estate.

If the land is in a suitable location, this could open up opportunities for developing 2 homes or even selling off one of the lots, which could lead to a good profit.

It's like the 70% rule, you can use it to narrow down 100 deals to 30 deals to dive deeper, but you need to know estimates per house..

House hacking is a great beginning step in investing.

@Chanel Snerling if you're going to rezone in those Neighborhoods, you'd be better off going with max number of units possible.What construction project development & management experience do you have?

I'm passionate about creating secure, long-term housing solutions that balance tenant stability with strong returns.

what would you think of a 14,600sqft 3 unit property in sailboat bend, off market, that is RMM25 zoned and has a nice single family and duplex behind it, half of the lot if empty so it can be developed or RV/trailer parking, for $1.1M?

The properties I am targeting are thought of for infill development first, but when those numbers don't work rehab second.
