Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: As we close out 2024 and look forward to 2025, NAR released its 2025 list of top performers in 10 metro markets.

If those earnings didn't stay the same or increase, that could leave the lenders with folks that go bankrupt trying to pay for a property they can't make perform like you did.

I am perfectly fine holding X amount in real estate.If I do see an opportunity another option is to lock it up and sell one of my existing if I think this property will perform or appreciate significantly more.

We then export this data into an Excel spreadsheet to review metrics such as average occupancy, daily rates, and annual revenue for that specific property type and location.We'll also look at the top-performing properties in the area and analyze the amenities they offer, their location, proximity to attractions/beach etc.

After 6 months of non-payment, we were able to perform an eviction for this tenant.

In 7 months, they have not produced ONE lead to close as guaranteed on their website (Launch Your Leads…LYL) A background  was performed prior to signing up, but we had no idea they were doing previous fraudulent scams under another name called Amplify My Business .

However, the key is partnering with a professional agency that not only supplies experienced VAs but also uses robust systems—like well-known CRMs—to track calls, monitor lead quality, and analyze performance metrics.Keep in mind that not every VA agency is created equal.

Lenders that don’t require an appraisal will perform a desktop appraisal but will typically have a very conservative view on the value of the property to protect the company’s investment.

these can produce good returns but best chance for success is for those that have experience in this area (I am a partner on an effort adding 8 ADUs, but it is not performing to the initial underwriting (underperforming) and it is an experienced team).good luck I get it, but not everyone has the opportunity of scale and building multiple units.

Every day I receive calls from out of state investors who paid far too much for their property in my opinion and it always is because they trusted others too much instead of performing their own research.
