Welcome to the community, Evan!

My goal, over the next five years, is to utilize real estate in lieu of my current hourly consulting income, by building a portfolio of rentals.  

I find this data super interesting, and took the opportunity to dive into their 2025 edition this week.Nationwide they say we can expect:Average mortgage rates of 6.3%, with rates edging down over the year to reach 6.2% by the end of the year.Home prices will grow by 3.7% across the US, which is pretty modest.

That sure is a pretty looking bridge, I hope the local people find it to be a very useful thing.

Thanks, BrianLook back through the thread.

I specialize on STRs in the Tampa FL area.  

We scraped the old house and we build new home, where the houses are selling close to the $1.8M What was the outcome?

try to get the owner to finance it.. 

My net cash flow went from only $1600/month to 19k/month over the next 6 years.

The returns will likely be greater if you source the borrower and originate on behalf of the IRA.
