Hi Matthew, I wanted to discuss the classification of a property as modular and its impact on value.

The location of the lender doesn't necessarily impact your chances of getting a mortgage or the efficiency of the process however, local lenders have a better understanding of the local real estate market and regulations as they are more familiar with appraisers and other closing professionals in the area which can expedite the process and you will get a more personal touch and easier communication.

There are many factors that impact macro-economic situations.

I've been closely following the developments of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement and its potential impact on our industry.

They can often spot potential issues that might not be obvious but could impact your renovation budget.Contingency Budget: Always add a contingency buffer to your budget.

The 2 to 3 bedroom upgrade is one of the highest impact changes you can make. 

In this blog post, we'll delve into the complexities surrounding interest rates, mortgage rates, and the implications for CRE investors.Interest Rates and Mortgage Rates: Despite expectations of modest rate decreases, the direct impact on mortgage rates may not be as significant as anticipated.

@Bryce Kennebeck not sure how moving to an LLC impacts your ability to take the primary residence tax benefit.

For example in and around DC some jurisdictions charge insane fees for new builds ($40k school impact fee) and have very challenging code requirements (sprinkler systems in homes..)Anything crazy like that?

This is not that hard to forecast and will impact you much more than your tax preparer!
