A $77,000 mortgage and a $500,000 mortgage require roughly the same amount of processing, underwriting, and closing work. But only one generates enough revenue to keep a loan officer’s pipeline economically viable. That gap, between the labor a small loan demands and the compensation it produces, is one of the less-discussed structural barriers to homeownership ...
Metro Detroit remains one of the few major metropolitan areas where an investor can acquire a property for under $100,000, put in rehab work, and still generate positive cash flow. That affordability continues to attract capital from across the country, but financing these deals and structuring them to survive a missed assumption requires more nuance ...
In Detroit’s multifamily market, some investors are deliberately acquiring properties that produce no monthly income – and consider them profitable. Larry Gotcher, a real estate professional with Resource Realty Group currently pursuing nine apartment complex acquisitions in Detroit ranging from 100 to 500 units, says the strategy relies on tax code mechanics that most investors ...

In the part of southern Illinois that runs through Randolph and Perry counties toward the Missouri line, the housing market operates at a scale most metro buyers would not recognize. The area has little commercial property and few businesses, according to Nona Shaw, an agent with Tri County Realty, and the market is thin enough ...
A resale home in Royse City, Texas, has been sitting on the market for over ten months. A nearby resale property closer to downtown Dallas went under contract in 16 days. Both are in the same metro area, served by the same agent. The difference is not location alone – it is what new-construction builders ...
Durham’s housing market is sorting homes by condition and price. Emily Godrich of Heart NC Realty Group sees both outcomes: her two most recent Durham listings each sold within five days with multiple offers, while other homes in the market are not selling right away.

Today, those same documents read differently, stricter concentration limits, double-underwriting requirements, and pledges of conservative asset allocation that would have seemed unnecessary in a more optimistic climate, according to Scott Ward, owner of The Ward Company and its subsidiaries, ...
