Transaction volume in self-storage has been slower than buyers and sellers would both like. Capital is ready to deploy, and assets need to trade. But the gap between what sellers believe their properties are worth and what buyers are prepared to pay has kept a significant portion of the market on hold. That standoff is ...
The balloon payments are arriving. Investors have three options, and none of them are easy. Most people who have bought a home understand how a fixed mortgage works: borrow, pay monthly, same rate for 30 years. Commercial real estate does not always work that way. A large share of loans written in 2020 and 2021 ...

More than a third of investors plan to buy zero properties this year. A veteran who has closed through every cycle since 1991 says excessive selectivity is the single biggest mistake he sees. A recent sentiment survey found that 38% of investors expect market conditions to improve, but more than a third plan to purchase ...
A large number of real estate investors who could benefit from cost segregation have never heard about it from their tax preparer. Some were told it was not worth it for their property. Others had CPAs who simply did not bring it up. For many, the result is years of straight-line depreciation on assets that ...
Real estate investors know a 1031 exchange lets them defer capital gains when selling one property and rolling the proceeds into another. What fewer understand is how cost segregation fits into that transaction, and the specific mistake that can quietly undermine the tax benefit before the ink dries on the new purchase. According to Brian ...
The mortgage rate lock-in effect is real, and it isn’t going away. Millions of homeowners carrying pandemic-era rates in the 2%-3% range are still doing the math and choosing to stay put. That calculus hasn’t changed as much as some expected. What has changed is something harder to measure: the accumulation of life circumstances that ...
When capital flows into a single asset class faster than almost any other in recent memory, the instinct is to chase the headline. In 2025, data centers accounted for roughly a third of all global private real estate funding, a figure that would have seemed implausible five years ago, when the asset class was still ...
The pitch is always the same. The new platform will work well with your existing systems. It will connect to your CRM, your accounting software, and your project management tool. Everything will talk to everything. The data will flow. The inefficiencies will disappear. Then you buy it, and six months later, someone is still reconciling ...
Featured responses from KeyCrew’s 3,500-expert intelligence network. After three years of mortgage-rate-driven seller paralysis, U.S. housing inventory is starting to loosen – but the practitioners closest to the transactions say rates aren’t the reason. In responses collected by KeyCrew Media in April 2026, practitioners found near-universal agreement on what’s actually moving sellers, and sharp disagreement ...
The interest rate gap between new construction and resale homes in the New Braunfels, Texas market has grown wide enough that it is actively reshaping how buyers make decisions. While resale buyers are navigating rates in the high fives to low sixes, some new construction builders along the I-35 corridor are offering financing as low ...
Boutique hotels feel like an asset class reserved for the ultra-wealthy. You walk through a beautifully renovated 20-room property in the mountains, and it’s hard not to think: who owns this place, and how did they get here? For most people, the assumption is that it takes millions to get in the door. That assumption ...
For decades, the phrase “faith-based investing” has functioned mostly as a filter. Avoid tobacco. Avoid adult entertainment. Avoid alcohol. Put a Christian label on a mutual fund that holds the same 200 large-cap companies as every other ESG product, and call it values-aligned. That, according to Steven Libman, founder of Investing With Purpose™, is the ...
The narrative around South Florida real estate has long centered on Miami’s waterfront towers and celebrity-studded islands. But buyers seeking space, privacy, and value are increasingly looking to western Broward County, and developers are following them there. With 361 residential sales above $10 million recorded across South Florida in 2025, the second-highest annual total on ...
The foreclosure process moves slowly. The decisions that lead to losing a property often happen in the first weeks, not the final ones. That’s what Gelt Financial, a national private lender with 37 years of experience in distressed real estate finance, sees playing out across markets right now. In the past six months, foreclosure bailouts ...
