I am thinking of leasing parking space at my retail shopping center to some EV fast charging company.

EV charging is quickly becoming a major value-add for multifamily and commercial properties, especially in a place like LA where both the demand and incentives are strong.You're in a smart niche, owners are definitely starting to view EV infrastructure not just as an amenity, but as a way to future-proof assets and attract higher-quality tenants.

Quick flips give you faster cash back in your pocket and let you roll into the next deal sooner, which builds momentum.

Rents are holding, but demand feels softer.Here are some of the things I’m doing now, the same strategies I used back in 2008–2010 when the market cooled:Putting For Rent signs up wherever HOA allows (old-school still works)Teaming up with my property manager to get more exposure and push listings fasterSharing rentals on local Facebook and community groupsOffering small move-in incentives or flexible depositsPricing slightly below market to fill units faster, then adjusting laterAre other landlords doing something similar, or seeing better results with different approaches?

Hi all — I’m building a tool and want honest input from active investors and agents.

How do you currently analyze a potential deal?

Estimating true rental income (not list rent).

Modeling taxes, insurance...

Some will suck your money right out of your wallet, while others will accelerate your learning and get you into deals faster.

Hey everyone,I’ve been noticing more investors shifting toward lighter cosmetic rehabs instead of full gut flips this year — especially as labor costs and permit timelines stay unpredictable.Some markets (like the Midwest and Southeast) are seeing price rebounds on entry-level homes, so smaller updates and faster turns seem to be making more sense for some investors.Curious what you all are seeing:Are you adjusting your strategy toward smaller, faster rehabs?

That means I don’t have a local PM who can serve as the Local Agent in Charge on the eviction file. 

Apartments.com is around $40, charged to the tenant.

You might not be looking at renting all these bedrooms at what you intend to charge but I don't know your area.
