Our firm is planning on starting a Portal (legal term) next year on our roadmap because with $5M as the new threshold this really can move the needle for certain projects and sponsors.  

I plan to use the 10k Club to make money by being a bird dog for times when I don’t want to go deep into the process to make a profit.

BTW there is a free trial and the Starter monthly plan is $119.It also allows you to search through consumer information such as property owner "credit worthiness," Credit card usage, buying power, age, language, family members in the house, and many other fields that are above and beyond property characteristics, which is unique.

I’d also love to hear your predictions for how the real estate financing landscape might shift this year and how you plan to position yourself for success.

Would love to hear what you’re focused on or planning!

The plan is to use the proceeds from this rental to buy another rental property for about $650-700K, plus to pay off the home that they live in now ($260K owed).

My wife and I just bought our first condo over the summer and plan to turn it into a rental later on down the road.

If you planned on moving out of a house and buy another property, as an example, you could pull a HELOC before you moved out and keep it as an emergency fund.  

As we move into 2025, these trends are shaping how we approach renovations:Open Floor Plans with Purpose: Open concepts remain a top priority, but it’s no longer just about tearing down walls.

If you’re not occupying the property and plan to either sell it or keep it as a rental, you might want to consider a bridge loan through a hard money lender.
