The market seems to be cooling rapidly. I'm seeing massive price drops of 5-10% where I have one property listed in Newtown CT and another listed in Milford that I just price dropped after 3 weeks with no offers. What's everyone else seeing in the Connecticut market? It shows up as a strong growi...
As commercial interest reaches about 7%, more multifamilies may fail to refinanace and investor may hesitate to jump into the market. https://www.globest.com/2026/09/23/troubled-2021-apartment-loans-could-bring-more-distressed-sales?utm_source=email&utm_medium=enl&utm_campaign=nationalalert&utm_c...
Austin keeps growing. The stats show that the civilian labor force is now 1,568,800 according to BLS. And the unemployment is 4%. There is a little bit of a shift going on though within the industries and its important to be mindful of it. Information (tech) employment growth is declining and I a...
Are you seeing more investors buying, sitting on the sidelines, or becoming more selective with deals? What's the investor sentiment like in your market right now?
I have had interesting experiences investing in two separate markets that were heavily impacted by specific industries that tend to fluctuate. Resource extraction is always political and cyclical. One was a secondary oil town in west Texas and one was a mining town in northern Minnesota. Does any...
Suppose somebody offers me a property that produces almost no cash flow today. But the location is excellent. Development is moving that way. Land values have been rising. There may be redevelopment potential. Five or ten years from now, this thing could be worth considerably more. That's essenti...
As of July 24, 2026, Teller County has new requirements for properties served by an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), better known as a septic system. In most sales, the system now needs to be inspected and receive county approval as part of the Transfer of Title process (ToT). The inspe...

There, you'll find detailed information on investing, both in general and specifically in Las Vegas. Before I continue, note that unless ot...
I track the Huntsville market obsessively — I live and flip here. I have a family renovation business and a background in data science (PhD molecular genetics — weird path, I know), so I built tools that systematically analyze every sold comp in the Tennessee Valley. Here's what 19,705 closed tra...
This plot of land used to have a home depot on it and is now owned by the city. Its now slated for apartments. It seems that the developers are needing gap financing. It also seems that Airbnb is doing gap financing. This is very interesting for several reasons. Why is Airbnb stepping into the fi...
Hi all! Just starting out, and looking into a good market for my first short term rental. There seem to be so many resources out there, with such variable price tags, and was wondering if any are more helpful/more accurate than others. I have been using AirROI just because it’s free, but there se...
I was comparing the August numbers for Cuyahoga and Lorain County, and there are some pretty noticeable differences. Obviously, Cuyahoga County is a much larger market, so the raw number of listings and sales isn't exactly apples-to-apples. The year-over-year changes are where it gets interesting...

Yesterday the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75% to 4%. That's the first increase since July 2023, and the dot plot showed most officials expect at least one more before the year is out. For newer investors, here's the part worth understanding, because...
Charleston can be a tough market to make pencil, and I’ve found the normal “rules” don’t always apply. Curious what everyone else has learned from actually doing deals here.
Obviously, no two markets are exactly alike. The causes behind today’s high home prices, limited inventory, interest rates, and affordability problems are not identical to what happened before the 2008 crash. Back then, we saw risky lending, excessive speculation, adjustable-rate mortgages, and m...
got about 10 minutes left in the episode, didn't quite finish it on the drive in this morning, however, most wanted to appreciate the general view/sentiment shared in discussing Henry's story. The idea that we as investors and entrepreneurs ought to be thinking and considering the general long te...
Rates were higher in 1996 and deals still penciled. Where do the numbers stop making sense today? We keep hearing "7% is historically normal, quit complaining." That's true. The 30-year averaged about 7.8% in 1996, and it's 6.95% this week. In 1996 the median house (year I bought my first house) ...
Hey everyone, my name is Dillon and I am 23 years old looking to buy my first property in the next few months. My plan is to house hack and I am looking to buy a 2-4 unit property. I realize appreciation among many other things plays a big part in how you analyze deals and make an informed decisi...
The Fed hike got all the coverage last week but I think the construction data was the more important report and almost nobody paired the two. The Hike Was Expected. The Posture Was Not. The Fed raised the Federal Funds Rate 25 basis points, its first hike in three years. That much was priced in a...
A lot of marketing conversations here center on cost per lead — which source is cheapest, which list is the best deal. It's the wrong number to optimize for on its own. A $2 lead with a 1% conversion rate costs you $200 per actual deal. A $15 lead with a 10% conversion rate costs you $150 per dea...
Two multifamily closings in Cincy MLS Hamilton County, both in the last 30 days good snapshot of how wide the range is right now. Same county, same 30-day window a stabilized 11-unit cash flower on one end, a gut-rehab duplex on the other. Good reminder that Cincinnati multifamily covers a lot of...
The market seems to be splitting right down the middle. Entry level homes under $300K are still moving strong in my area first time buyers are finding ways to make it work despite the rates. But once you hit that $400K+ range, things really slow down. The move up buyers seem to be the ones feelin...
Fed just released the numbers (Z.1 report, Sept 2026): Total value of all U.S. homes: $49.8T (up 2.5% YoY) Total mortgages/loans against them: $14.0T (up 3.0% YoY) Net equity owners actually hold: $35.8T (up 2.2% YoY) Share of homes owned free and clear: 71.9% — 13 straight quarters above 70% Pri...
