As we’re beginning to get a grasp on the scale of the challenges ahead we wanted to highlight a few areas of note and concern that is already influencing the local and national real estate market.

We had started as equal partners but my push for accountability felt to him like being bossed around.

It's meeting people a little ahead of you that really make it seem doable.

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

Closing was pushed back to end of April so I don’t have the keys yet.

I've had them long enough to keep pushing up rents so that I am at the top of my niche, but know not to exceed it because I'm just about at the point where if I raised rents another $50-$100 I'd be crossing over into the lower end for larger units.

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.

I highly regret not being further ahead of where I am currently financially to where I could provide more comfort to those I care about during their vulnerable times in their life.You see, wealth is not just about you.

This allows us to participate in both pushing rents while also limiting vacancy exposure.

I’m also glad BP isn’t overrun with people pushing courses that promise to take someone from newbie to syndication expert overnight."
