That’s about 1 in every 758 homes.July alone saw a 13% increase compared to last year, the highest monthly jump so far in 2025.What makes this more interesting—or worrisome—is the uneven geography:Alaska (↑55%), Rhode Island (↑51%), Utah and Wyoming (both ↑46%), and Colorado (↑41%) are seeing the sharpest increases.Per housing units, states like Nevada, Florida, Maryland, South Carolina, and Illinois are riding the foreclosure wave fastest.Contrast that with the macro picture:Inventory levels are swelling—active home listings are up almost 25% year-over-year—providing more opportunities for buyers.Mortgage rates dropped slightly, with 30-year fixed rates nudging down to 6.58%—the lowest point of 2025, but still elevated.And in a twist, the Federal Reserve is stuck between supporting housing and fending off inflation fueled by booming AI investments.So here’s my investor brain asking some real questions:Are these rises signaling local economic strain—not a national crisis—creating focused opportunities?

Any thought, suggestion for me on this house if I want to STR or section 8 rental, who property management can handle this type of nuisance for he is a professional tenant, capable of manipulate, twist story. 

When you go to mill the log, the lumber can twist and come out wavy due to the tension in the log.d.  

Always. interesting plot twist as more carriers cancel and people need to get new policies and see the original borrower is not on the policy etc will the servicers be telling the lenders to call the loan.

This can give you an early warning when your system needs to be serviced or when guests are leaving doors open.Side note:I have added spring loaded hinges to exterior doors that gently shut the door when people walk through and don't shut the door on their own.

Then, once it's the talk of the town and everyone is doing it, not only do they jump in but they get swept up in all the hype and horrah of the herd, and despite seeing this massive herd around them and thinking "competition, diminishing returns" they take it as some twisted form of confirmation they must be on the right track because it's what everyone else is doing.

Via my property manager, rents have been gently increasing in W Texas.
