The goal was to not allow communities or HOAs to decide not to allow ADUs.i am not a fan of state making this decision over the desire of the local community because I believe there should be places with lower density.in general, ADUs add significantly less value than they cost to add and this even holds for garage conversions.  

If you can show them that the numbers hold up under scrutiny, the conversation about capital moves fast.

I'm seeing a lot of tire kickers these days -- people willing to chat but not willing to move at your timeline or take your offer seriously.What's working best for me is pre-qualification before the first conversation even happens.

Confirmed layoffs hitting content and production teams while rolling out "Homes AI," a conversational, voice enabled property search powered by Azure OpenAI. 2) CBRE's CEO said on their Q4 earnings call they're targeting a 25% reduction in research costs using AI this year. 25%!!

Thirty offers tells you your real conversion rate, what sellers in your market are willing to accept, and whether your underwriting is landing anywhere close to where deals actually happen.

Title: NJ Investors & Buyers — Let’s Connect 🤝 | BbuyNJLLCHey BiggerPockets 👋My name is Badr Lamtaifi, and I run BbuyNJLLC, focused primarily on New Jersey SFHsI joined BiggerPockets to connect with other active buyers, wholesalers, lenders, and operators who are actually doing deals —and talking about them 😄Whether you’re:Buying or selling in NJLooking to JV on tricky or distressed assetsMoving deals you can’t take downOr just want to compare notes on what’s working right nowI’m always open to conversation and collaboration.A little about my approach:Boots-on-the-ground mindsetNumbers first, emotions lastWin-win deals only (if it doesn’t work for both sides, it doesn’t work)💡 Fun fact (because why not):The Sahara Desert wasn’t always a desert — around 6,000–10,000 years ago it was actually green, with rivers, lakes, and grasslands.

Check each citys short term rental ordinance before you get too deep into a deal.For the MTR conversion in year two the good news is MTRs dont face the same regulatory issues.

The stuff that actually determines whether a deal performs after the acquisition hype fades.Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a recurring theme across many properties I’ve worked with or reviewed:👉 solid deals on paper that underperform due to execution gaps at the property level.That observation led me to launch BenVas, where our focus is:Third-party multifamily management for owners who want tighter executionOperational takeovers and due diligence supportPre-acquisition and post-stabilization operational strategyPartnering with sponsors who value ops as much as the deal itselfI’m currently:Connecting with owners and sponsors who want a more hands-on operating partnerOpen to managing or supporting 50–300 unit communitiesExploring aligned partnerships where long-term performance matters more than short-term opticsGenuinely looking to network, trade insights, and connect with others who believe deals are won in operations, not just underwriting.If you’re:An owner frustrated with execution or performance driftA sponsor looking for an ops-first partnerOr someone scaling and open to collaborationI’d love to connect and learn more about what you’re working on.Drop a comment or shoot me a DM, always open to a good conversation.— Jonathan 

Based on Google conversion rates:$50M HUF => $155k USD$350k HUF => $1100 USDThese numbers tell me very little.What about property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, ownership structure for foreigners, other weird taxes for foreign ownership, etc.?

I’m specifically interested in teams or companies that:Understand real estate (wholesaling, off-market, investors, agents, etc.)Can handle motivated seller conversations intelligentlyDeliver consistent appointment quality, not just call volumeIntegrate well with common tools (PropStream, BatchLeads, ReadyMode, Follow Up Boss, REISift, etc.)Have real-world ROI, not just marketing claimsIf you’ve used cold callers successfully, I’d love to hear:The company or team you recommendApproximate cost per caller/hourWhat type of lists you’re calling (absentee, probate, high equity, tired landlords, etc.)Realistic results (leads, appointments, deals per month)What you’d do differently if you were starting overBonus points if you’ve tested multiple providers and can compare quality, accents, training, and conversion rates.I’m happy to share what I’m seeing on my end as well once I compile feedback.Appreciate any insight from people actually doing volume, not just theory.Thanks in advance.
