Because it takes repetition for people to remember things and you have to be top-of-mind when they encounter a potential client for you!

You will need to go after a strategy that has potential to work or do a house hack. 

Understanding the market enables you to spot good bargains and steer clear of potential loss-making regions.

The fact that you moved from your primary residence three months after purchasing may seem a bit strange to your current lender, especially with you potentially having it classified as an investment property in the same calendar year.

Hi all - I posted a similar question on another thread but want to approach it from a different angle.As we know Boston/sorrounding towns is an expensive market and finding cash flow is a challenge.With that said, there's potential in other cities around the country. 

Cash-flowing properties will be key to navigating potential volatility in both lending and pricing trends.What to Watch Moving ForwardWhile markets originally priced in multiple Fed rate cuts in 2024, the latest economic data has forced expectations to shift.

Digging down is a project I am just finishing up.... it is exhausting but potentially worth it.

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. 

My property, however, has a 17,000 sqft lot, which offers potential for a future multi-family development.
