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. 

Not only does it have excellent potential as a house hack, but it also offers significant upside for a live-in flip.

Something is missing...if there isn't a Board and the HOA (or I assume more likely a COA) is newly formed then why isn't the developer still in control of the HOA?

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..

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

Hello All,We are building  a house for sale and need to decide on the kitchen layout.

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

@Daniel Madhavapallil Congratulations on your house hack!

This is a fine example of where to research out of state investments as the housing prices to purchase are still reasonable and low (not like California where I am and entry level house SFR is a million dollars). 

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