Interestingly enough, I came across an article in the Philidelphia Inquirer that raised concerns about the REIT two years ago.

I just read an article recently that noted "Avg Profits For Flipped Homes" of $80,000, however when you dig into the article and their sources, "Profit" is simply Sale Price - Purchase Price...so it doesn't consider renovation costs, holding costs, financing costs, etc.

@Daniel Chen Here's an article with some FAQs on Section 179D that you may find helpful.

There was an article published in Sept 2024 that showed the average consumer would save over $10,000 by working with a broker vs a direct lender over the life of their loan.

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

1) I think it’s “funny” that not one news article I ever read for the last 5 years had headlines like “Housing at historical record lows!

This appears to be another article designed to capture eyeballs by creating controversy. 

But there were big articles in teh Phily paper and Baltimore sun.  

I have linked an article below that goes over how they tie into BRRRRs.

Would prefer newer books that are still relevant if that matters.
