That will have an impact.That was my point about buying today with compressed rates vs buying years ago when rates were higher.Maybe you have some clients that brought before the GFC for a historical perspective.

Secondly, because we're almost at the end of the year, is this something you recommend people look at starting soon so they can start fresh for the new year?

It is a completely fresh start-the-right-way kind of deal.

Nathan mentioned using a syndication site to push your listing to multiple sites at one time which is also something that I recommend in order to expose your property to as many sites as possible.Some things to consider to maximize the efficiency and giving a perspective resident a great experience from the beginning to having a scheduling link available in your description for specific days and times that you can show the property so that you can capture your leads wanting to tour the property without them having to wait for a response from you and scheduling a one off time.I would recommend investigating in having professional photography taken if you are leasing in a market that has a lot of competition since your photos will have your property stand out and drive traffic.Good luck!

Speaking of evolving perspectives, what I considered a "big deal" has gone through a serious transformation.

Some of the projects were with a local partner as well and then the managing chores were split between us.The lending perspective was stiff in the beginning, as I didn't have any experience at all, also no credit score, and that project was only by myself, so the leverage was low, but I could work on a low-price property to start.Fast forward 5 years, I have built a credit score with 2 credit cards under my ITIN of more than 650, and done 4 properties as experience.

Your background in healthcare and passion for travel and new experiences will bring a unique perspective to the community.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from a macro perspective is to run your own race.

Thanks for any advice or insights you can share—I’m excited to make a fresh start here and connect with everyone in SW Michigan and beyond!
