@James McGovern pricing strategy when professionally doing flips is NOT the traditional home-owner method of list at MAX what think people will buy at, then discount, discount, discount until someone jumps in. 

They are much more fragile than traditional stick homes and require more maintenance. 

However, if the perspective tenants believe they do a good job, they are not going to apply and pay the application fee with a real chance they get rejected for a bogus ESA.In addition, PetScreening.Com keeps track of the animals vaccinations ensuring the animals have the required vaccines.In California, we have an additional law to try to discourage bogus ESAs (AB468).  

For owners who want hands-off income without traditional tenant headaches, it's a compelling option.

Quote from @Brandon Lee: For investors who’ve used different capital sources—at what point did private money start making sense for you compared to traditional financing?

I have about 75+ in my pipeline as well speak who are eager to sell, yet the traditional wholesale method will not work because their asking price is outside my MAO.

Non-traditional lenders usually move faster than banks, though timelines vary.

I would like to find a way to finance this property as an investment and won’t qualify for a traditional mortgage with earnings if they don’t include the rental income of one unit, I’d be willing to move out to keep the property with 2 rental units and let it grow equity and believe there is positive cash flow from doing this, though I don’t know what the cost to buyout my husband would be at this time, worst case scenario the property is valued at 850,000- with a 200,000 buyout plus existing mortgage of 410,000 meaning I would need to secure 610,000, this is a newly built net zero property with solar that generates enough power for all the needs of both units, no electric bill, no heating costs, no cooling costs.

Commercial real estate exceeded expectations in 2025-Office fundamentals showed their first meaningful improvement since 2020, led by continued strength in Class-A assets.Data centers remained on an exponential growth path, expanding well beyond traditional hubs and increasingly supported by alternative energy solutions.Investment activity rebounded sharply, with CRE transaction volume up 17% year-over-year, driven by improved lending conditions and strong private capital engagement.While concerns around bank CRE loan distress dominated headlines, actual write-downs proved far more limited than predicted—though office exposure remains an area to watch.Walking into 2026, the message from 2025 is clear:commercial real estate didn’t just survive — it reset and started growing again.

What is the diference than a traditional title company?
