It's a fun story and it's how I got interested in notes.I bought a vacant, land locked (no easement) lot at tax deed auction (Washington is a deed state). 

I signed my purchase agreement, the rates came down today to 6.625 which I locked in for.

I'm thinking I could have someone manage the build as my eyes and ears when I'm working.

Lock up your new property with a lease prior to selling your old property.  

I have the Pro plan so it integrates with my August smart lock.

If the unit is empty, change the locks, clean it, and get it rented.

(As I would like to consider myself soon to become) I have a question dealing with both if anyone has open ears.

After voicing that I will be hiring an attorney and filing a compliant with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection all my ad spend was cut off without warning to make it look like I violating the agreement and I was also locked out of some areas CRM system.

She provided me incorrect information and my 6% locked rate ended up closing at 9.99%.

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.
