Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: As we close out 2024 and look forward to 2025, NAR released its 2025 list of top performers in 10 metro markets.

@Sung Yu You can 1031 exchange your fourplex into a single-family home, provided it’s initially used as an investment property (rented for 1–2 years) to meet IRS requirements.

Should I stick with my partners for the initial flips or go the hard money route?

I know we all experienced a significant disruption at the initial transition, but it's now been almost 60 days. 

When you initially buy a property, ad 20% DP, you are buying a property that's worth 5 times what you are paying for it. 

. $2,000 is about the going rate in my market.2.

My custodian does not have a money market or similar sweep account to keep idle cash earning.

They should be found early on by talking to other investors or your investor friendly Realtor.It is through effective property management that your money is made besides buying well initially.

As we wrap up the year and look ahead to 2025, the real estate market continues to present unique challenges and opportunities for investors, brokers, and lenders alike.

It feels a little feminine to me, which is fine if you are going after that market segment.
