Fix to Rent: Seven Important Factors to Realize Moving into 2025
Builder has posted an article that starts out saying, “A lower cost of capital, more starts and developments, the rise of attached product, and technology are among the factors shaping how the BTR market will be defined in 2025.
… While the build-to-rent (BTR) market has experienced a softening recently as the higher cost of capital has discouraged deals, the general state of the market is ‘good and getting better,’ according to Callum Parrott, president and head of single-family rental (SFR) and BTR for Mill Creek Residential.” The article then goes on to articulate the seven trends and market factors shaping the BTR sector in 2025. Read on to learn what they are.
HousingWire wants its readers to know: “After years of declines, home-flipping profits are coming back. That’s according to a report released this week by Attom, which showed that the typical profit on a flip in the second quarter of 2024 was 30.4%, the fourth time in five quarters that margins rose.”
Attom CEO Rob Barber concludes the piece by saying, “With the market rising amid tight supplies of homes for sale around the country and falling interest rates, conditions appear ripe for more improvement over the rest of the year as long as prices don’t shoot up past what most buyers can afford.”
Ground-Up Builders: Homebuilders’ Sentiment Has Improved for the Third Straight Month
The single sentence promoting the posted video says: “CNBC’s Diana Olick joins ‘Squawk on the Street’ to report on new data on homebuilder sentiment and an uptick of M&A in the space.”
Watch the video to hear what she has to say about how everything seems to be improving in this arena, including homebuilder sentiment, current sales conditions, sales expectations, and buyer traffic.

RFG in Action
Minimal Rehab, Maximum Returns: Al Doubles Property Value with Smart Upgrades
Al turned a modest $25,000 rehab investment into a major success by doubling the property's appraisal value. With simple updates, including three new kitchens and baths, fresh paint, and tenant-ready apartments, Al quickly rented out the units — a studio and two 1-bed/1-bath apartments. Now, he enjoys steady monthly rental income, with no further upgrades needed.
Tip of the week We are excited to share a new logistics-related rehab tip every week! This area can be relied on for helpful information, such as how you can be more efficient and productive throughout your flipping or new-build journey, or ideas to increase your potential ROI. By highlighting something that potential buyers/renters are likely to find appealing, RFG hopes to ultimately make investors’ outcomes more successful and profitable.
Sustainable Basement Spaces Are Critical for Some Residents
The National Association of Realtors reminds investors (and others) that “[t]oday’s buyers are more interested than ever in green housing, especially since eco-friendly features tend to reduce energy costs. And while solar panels and tankless toilets offer immediate appeal … [s]imply put: Green basements are better — they’re easier on homeowners’ budgets and bodies and are friendlier to the planet.”
Read the article NAR posted to decide whether some or all of the five sustainable basement features highlighted in it would work in your project and could improve your likelihood of quickly securing a tenant or buyer.
