However, concerns about inflation and the broader national economic policies continue to influence consumer behavior, with a trend towards more prudent spending and saving habits observed.The economic outlook for Raleigh in 2024 remains positive, with growth expected to continue at a healthy pace.

But I have not read the Pace Morby book. 

I recommend Pace Morby, Brent Daniels, Jerry Norton and Real Estate Disruptors.

Terms in these areas are negotiable because the owner is basically the “bank.”There are books out there on creative financing, like Pace Morby’s on BP, but I would first ask what their terms are and negotiate from there if needed.Keep learning and take action.I wish you all the best.

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.These syndication can provide an 8%+ cash-on-cash return - providing you monthly cash flow - and a 15-20% IRR over the length of the project.

The economy seems to be doing ok and on pace for a soft landing.

Move at the pace of a turtle.

I won't be dealing with any other lender fees and go at my own pace.

For me, I try to do regular 1-3% increases knowing that sometimes that is slower than market rent increase and occasionally its faster than market rent but that since I aim a little under market I am always a little under market rent and almost keep pace in the long run.

There are correct answers to this problem but it isn't being taught by any of the "gurus" I've run into, no matter what "pace" they are teaching it at.  :-) They ignore the problem or give a really bad solution that actualy makes the situation worse.
