Something many new investors don't think about is that property managers usually negotiate volume discounts for some of this stuff.

Over the last year, we noticed a few key trends worth highlighting:Market Recovery Signs:Loan volumes reached $539 billion in 2024, up 26% year-over-year.

I work with these two:Metro Detroit Property Management - Mark HutterNHL Property management - Howard GenserThere are a tonne of companies and each one has had good and bad experiences, so no one in particular stands out.One part of the equation is that the Detroit market itself is a tough place and is not for the novice investors.Only seasoned and large volume Investors make it successful in Detroit.

Congrats on the volume!

The flippers who COULD handle the volume that a flipping fund would allow them to take on, don't need a fund, because often times, anyone flipping at that volume is already making close to 7 figures a year, and wouldn't want to keep splitting it.Alternatively, I, personally, would not invest with a flipper that hasn't done it, a lot.   

After reading Brandon and Brian's book, The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume II: Create Generational Wealth by Investing in Large Multifamily Real Estate, I'm a bit puzzled as to if the GP's must have real estate experience, or if someone can connect enough professionals/companies on their team to execute successful investments.

I'm focusing on building relationships with high volume agents, wholesalers, buyers, and sellers in this market to create dealflow for myself and my clients.From a strategy perspective - we work heavily on co-living properties as it is one of the best ways to make things pencil.

I know her prediction doesn't state today, but for activity to jump in February and then again in May to June that doesn't appear to be in a common volume trend of a "normal" year if that exists anymore!

Full disclosure, I only deal in LTR at the moment, but I know when I am not getting the quality applicants or volume that I want, I will lower the price by $50 to $100 per week to spur more applications. 

Usually I use smartlocks, but for this type of volume, I'm thinking more typical locks that have a set of codes.
