Hi looking for someone who has experience with Puerto Rico property investing.
A lot of 2022–2024 buyers are trapped in a vice most people can't see yet. They bought at the peak. High price, high rate, thin down payment. Many of them FHA, 3.5% down. Then prices in their metro slipped 5% . . .10%. . . Not surprisingly FHA delinquency hit 11.52% in Q4 2025, the highest since ...
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law 7/11/26. It’s a big headline and a big package. Will/Can it actually help create more housing where people need it? The law is drafted to add more supply to the market by encouraging homebuilding, and, offering grants to communities that ease their ...
Good morning, We're starting our investing journey and would like to have a "deal analyzer" sheet/tool on hand. I see plenty of them online and am quite overwhelmed with which to start. Since looking up some REI stuff online, all of my social media is now full of ads of gurus selling their "road ...

Northeast PA is hearing a different development conversation--not just warehouses or logistics. Now it's data centers. Amazon Web Services announced a major investment in Pennsylvania for AI and cloud infrastructure, with Luzerne County and Bucks County named as early locations. Separately, Hazle...
Hey everyone! I'm a local real estate agent and investor in the Memphis market, and I've noticed what seems to be a growing trend of short-term rentals popping up around the city. It's exciting to see. While Memphis has always been known for Graceland, barbecue, and music, it's traditionally been...
The median U.S. mortgage payment has nearly doubled since 2020. $1,240 → $2,420 a month. Incomes didn't double. Payments did. Everyone's diagnosing the housing market wrong. Not enough inventory? Blame builders. Too many investors? Blame Wall Street. Rates too high? Blame the Fed. None of that is...
For anyone who ever bought or sold a used car, Kelley Blue Book means one thing: “What’s it worth?” You may not agree with the number every time, but KBB has become part of pricing research. Now that same idea is moving into residential real estate. Cox Enterprises, the parent company behind Kell...
I have a single family new construction opportunity in the Fort Lauderdale market that is fully mapped out from a design, build, and execution standpoint, and I am currently evaluating the best path forward from an investment perspective. The project has been approached with a clear focus on cost...
Hello Everyone, With all the noise out there, I wanted to share a quick snapshot of where the market sits as of July 8, 2026 and how I’m thinking about deals right now. Mortgage rates snapshot Nationally, 30‑year fixed mortgage rates are hovering in the mid‑6% range, with Freddie Mac reporting an...
Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into San Antonio’s STR regulations to get a clearer picture of how friendly the market is for short-term rentals. I wanted to share this information and keep it here for myself as well. After reviewing the latest ordinances, reports, and city guidelines, here’s a su...
People talk about “the housing market” like it’s one big thing, but it isn’t. Not nationally or statewide, and definitely not here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. For example, the market in East Stroudsburg isn’t the same as the market in Scranton. Tannersville isn’t Wilkes-Barre. A rural home with...
As a full-time real estate agent and investor on the Grand Strand, I spend every day talking with buyers, sellers, property managers, and investors. I thought I'd share what I'm seeing on the ground because the Myrtle Beach market today looks very different than it did just a few years ago. The m...
As we get back to our desks after the long Independence Day weekend, the market handed us a clean illustration of the two forces pulling at commercial real estate from opposite directions: the policymaker’s pen and the cost of capital. In Massachusetts, the state’s highest court lifted the nation...
Week of June 29 data roundup. The headline is a significant jobs miss, and if you are tracking rate cut timing, this is the most important print we have had in months. Jobs: The Headline and What Is Underneath June nonfarm payrolls came in at 57,000, well below the 110,000 consensus. April and Ma...
Leased a single-family rental on an acre in 2 days this week. It got me thinking about what I'm actually buying when I look at a property with land. The fast lease is the short-term payoff. Renters who want space, a yard, parking, room for a dog or a trailer, do not have many options anymore. So ...
Market in a Minute We’re at the middle of the year and here's where things stand for the market. East Tennessee home sales increased 8.7% in June from 2025. We're also up in total inventory so sales would otherwise be relatively flat given the increase in listings. The median sale price was $415,...
I live in Texas and wanted to see the inflow and outflow into the state and saw this on this website: * Texas lost money to FL while also gaining a few households from FL. * Texas gained over $2B in AGI from CA alone (and this data is from the latest available through 2023! Can you imagine what t...
I’ve been paying close attention to the latest housing data, and one thing stands out: even with higher mortgage rates and affordability pressure, the market still seems to have some staying power. Pending home sales have shown that buyers are still active, even if they’re moving more cautiously....
Just listened to the latest On the Market podcast episode and there was a couple stats that stood out: 47% of deals are including seller concessions. Additionally, another 15% are seeing price reductions on top of the concessions. That's a good reminder to keep today's market in mind when you're ...
The median home price in and around Reno has gone from roughly $480,000 to $605,000 in a little over 3 years. What's interesting is most people don't remember the opportunity in between. When interest rates shot up after Q2 of 2022, home prices fell roughly 10–15% from their peak of nearly $560,0...
Homes don't sit on the market longer because of pictures or imaginary valuation or any confirmation bias. Homes sit on the market longer when nobody wants them. The thing to figure out is why nobody wants them. The best way to figure this out is to look at the economics of the market the home is ...
Hello everyone, I’m new to the BiggerPockets community and excited to be here. I currently live in Massachusetts but own a single family rental property in Madison, Wisconsin. My wife and I previously lived in the home and decided to keep it as a rental rather than sell it, largely because of our...
National real estate headlines make it sound like most of the housing market is slowing down. More inventory, higher rates, and some buyers getting more room to breathe. In many places, that may be true. But here in Northeastern Pennsylvania, especially around Greater Scranton and the Poconos, th...
