The good news: they often move faster in the right submarkets.

Inventory at 4.2 mo supply means faster sales but tighter margins.​News highlights: NAR reports 28% of flips now "light rehab" (under $50k) vs full guts; 65% targeting 20%+ ROI pre-holding costs.​Discussion:Adjusting MAO formulas for $10k+ tariff bumps?

Depending on a weighted factor Sparefoot will show you as a recommended location for an area, you might even be 15 miles away, but if their algorithm says you're the best then you will show up at the top or closer. 

Jamie Dimon recently pulled back the curtain on how AI is actually being used inside JPMorgan Chase.Risk analysis, fraud detection, marketing, underwriting, note-taking, ad generation, error reporting, and reducing operational mistakes.In total, the bank already has 600 AI use cases, and Dimon says 50 of them fall into the “important” category.His philosophy on deploying the technology is straightforward:“If we could use it to do something better, faster, quicker, cheaper, we are going to do it.”That sentence explains how nearly every major company will approach AI.Dimon also acknowledged something most CEOs rarely say publicly.

only one of the 2 units was picked in the lottery even though it was a weighted lottery (max weight for 5 years of STR operations with proof you paid the TOT for those 5 years - implication is the city does not know who has been paying the required TOT).

Sellers — especially on flips or distressed properties — care a lot about whether the buyer can actually close.A few things that tend to kill deals:• Slow underwriting timelines (waiting weeks for approvals)• Capital providers backing out late• Draw structures that make contractors nervous• Last-minute LTV changes after appraisalIn faster markets, even a 7–10 day delay can push a seller to accept another offer.Many experienced flippers I talk to end up prioritizing reliable closings over slightly better terms, because losing the deal entirely is usually the most expensive outcome.

That usually breaks down to roughly 1–2 months for acquisition and planning, 3–4 months for the renovation depending on scope, and another month or so for listing and closing.Obviously it can stretch longer if permits drag or if the rehab is heavier, but a lot of experienced flippers we work with try to structure deals assuming about a 7-month hold so they have some buffer built in.In tighter markets lately, it also seems like more investors are prioritizing cleaner, faster projects over the heavier rehabs just to keep timelines predictable.

Why pay a premium if they aren't holding their weight.

If you have 60 seconds, I'd love your take on these 5 questions:​What is your #1 "Dealbreaker" when someone applies with a dog (besides breed/weight)?​

They tell the crew:• this job matters• the timeline matters• the relationship mattersIn construction, goodwill often shows up later in ways you don’t see on a spreadsheet — faster responses, fewer small mistakes, better communication when problems pop up.On a project where carrying costs can run hundreds of dollars per day, a few small gestures that keep morale high and communication open are usually one of the highest ROI things you can do.Curious how many of you have found that the same crews start prioritizing your jobs once that relationship is built.
