And while the availability of lots for homebuilding has “loosened” we are still undersupplied in most all markets.Zonda researchAccording to Honda’s analysis, “Current lot development [supply] is supportive of modest growth in the new home market [in 2024] but doesn’t support blockbuster growth.”Snapshot in time: Housing Starts Down in January.

In my humble opinion, ADU regulation's must be loosened across the board, and fast! 

There was an awful lot of loosening that occurred in the late 1990s and 2000s ... we were several steps behind our southern neighbours, but there was lots of industry pressure to head down the deregulation line right behind them.  

Lending seems to be loosening up and a pre-qualification letter can help you.The primary Team members are Attornies, real estate Agents, CPA's (or accountants), Inspectors, General Contractors, and Handymen.  

This is probably a sign of today's loosening standards.The house is a 4 bedroom 2 bath built in 1984.

We are hardly in the same situation today, but lending standards are loosening up.

That is changing, however, as I've noticed platforms like CrowdStreet have started loosening their requirements.The best deals (value-add) are hard to get into, as there is a lot of capital chasing returns in multi-family. 

Guidelines have loosened up a bit recently and there are a lot more lenders doing loans for these borrowers using bank statements to show deposits, I even have a few stated programs available, but even these programs still require 2 years self-employment history.

there is nothing wrong with it, most microwaves have that option and do not have to be vented out, even though as a contractor i prefer them to vent out. if the existing pipe already vents out, which it probably does if there is a pipe in the cabinet already. what you would have to do is unscrew the 2 or 3 screws in the top cabinet that screw down into the microwave ( if not there then there may be 2 bolts in the front of the unit behind the cover that have to be loosened) that will loosen the microwave, then its a matter of taking the screws out that hold the fan at the top back, pull the blower fan out and change the direction so that it faces up, screw the fan back to the unit and put the microwave back up and bolting it. check to make sure the fan connects to the duct work, if not, add a piece of sheet metal to connect and seal that joint. btw you may want to unplug the microwave before doing so, just for safety reasons.

I feel like I perhaps need to loosen up my criteria and just get my feet wet.I would like to hear from flippers out there on any tips or advice.
