You can buy investment properties with conventional loans under your own name.

I am trying to buy my first live in property by mid may in Arizona.

Hey all,I’ve been diving into options for software to help streamline real estate rehab and construction project management.

@Rickey Mayes even if you buy a condo as a primary residence, alot of them will require 25% down if they do not have reserves and meet full review requirements.

Example, if you buy a home at $300K at 6.50% with 10% down your payment is $1706.58.If you wait for a lower rate 5.99% but the home increases to $325K at 5.99% its now $1,751.81.

At that point in time the market was still hot for properties at my price point in my buy box.

I am out of state investor wanting to buy material for contractors.

Originally I was going to buy back home in Tampa, Florida but now that we moved abroad and don't see ourselves going back to the US any time soon we have kind of decided to shift focus into the Spanish real estate market. 

I’m considering either buying a rental since it’s cheaper or purchasing a flip if the market is booming enough.

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.
