Hey @Austin Wolff - You bring up some good points about knowing the house better than anyone when you build new if you are actively involved and onsite regularly, but I'd get behind @Jay Hinrichs, in the sense that the numbers don't always allow you to build new.Here in Chicago, new developments are super pricey, and even the BEST DEVELOPERS HAVE SLIM MARGINS. 

However, managing a rental property or being a landlord is not a passive activity.

Given the recent pickup in activity, I thought this would be a good time to re-hash the agencies' small balance multifamily loan programs for future reference. 

I don't even want to circle back with the lawyer I originally engaged as I was not impressed with his support or follow up.  

I'm focused on small to mid-sized multifamily properties in south central and eastern NC, and I’d love to connect with others that are actively investing and operating in these areas.

Greetings BP,I wanted to share my parking "activities" within the BP community since I see this a pretty obscure topic. 

The U.S. economy added more jobs than expected, which signals robust economic activity and pressures the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates to combat inflation.

Used to merely be a money grab but a few years ago the regulations changed and if a violation was active on your property you could not get your rental license renewed.

Understanding Market Temperature on Zillow:Zillow’s "warm" or "hot" market indicators are a good starting point, but they reflect overall real estate activity, not just rental demand.
