Letting Go for Your Bottom Line: A Lesson for Real Estate InvestorsHey BiggerPockets Community,If you’re a real estate investor, whether you own rental properties, flip houses, or manage syndications, there’s a critical lesson that could boost your bottom line: Letting Go.Many of us get into real estate because we want control over our financial future.

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. 

I encourage you to define your financial goals, as real estate presents numerous possibilities.Building a strong foundation of knowledge and connections can significantly impact your success in real estate investing.

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

When we were looking at our offering which our investors are preferred equity and shareholders, we looked at debt obligations and if we would need to register for an exemption etc. 

If the floating rate debt starts costing too much and there is no capital to replace a rate cap, reserves run out.
