Check out these evolving trends in real estate…
Understand how these changes are influencing the market, creating opportunities, and how you can invest to benefit from them.
Taxes, Taxes, Taxes
We already seem to be in a year of unprecedented tax hikes, the addition of new taxes, the stripping away of long used breaks and deductions, and proposed taxes.
One of the most notable of these new tax proposals has been the targeting of tax saving retirement accounts, including IRAs. Now, despite saying it won’t cost anything to pay for the new $3.5T spending bill, the government is proposing a new tax on unrealized gains.
That means you would pay taxes each year on the increased value of assets. While the ruling is still very cloudy, that would take away the interest or advantage into holding onto homes, retirement savings invested in long term hold real estate, stocks and even precious metals.
It may mean more cash being spent in the economy in the short term. Further supporting price growth. If you are going to pay the taxes each year anyway, then turning around house flips fast for lump sum gains just seems to make more sense.
Extreme Inflation
Hyper inflation seems unlikely to subside anytime soon. This certainly applies to construction materials and labor. Materials are costing even more due to shortages, increased delivery costs, and gas prices. Hyper inflation in gas and daily living expenses means construction workers need to get paid a lot more to justify going to work every day too.
This means the market favors real estate wholesalers far more than rehab flippers and house builders.
Soaring House Prices & Deep Discounts
If you haven’t noticed, the real estate market is in a really weird place too. In some cases house prices are up almost 100% year over year. In others oversupply means desperate owners and builders who are offering extreme discounts. Even though rents there may also be rising by 70% or more each year.
Financial Leverage
Real estate investment businesses and funds are trying to leverage even more capital now to take advantage of all of the opportunities out there, and to benefit from extremely low interest rates. Traditional mortgages may be virtually dead right now, but there is a ton of investment capital ready to be deployed.
Many real estate investors seem to be trying to create ‘pitch decks’ to raise capital like they see tech startups doing. Yet, few really understand what a modern pitch deck should look like, and how a good fundraising process is run.
With transactional funding wholesalers can skip all the hassles of borrowing and raising capital, optimize their leverage fast, and sell for cash quickly to those that have it.

Your company responded with in a few minutes while the competitor has yet to respond weeks later even after multiple phone calls and emails. Thanks again for the unmatched customer service."

Even though we had logistics issues with the B/C lender, your company acted very professionally and handled our requests beyond our expectations."
"Thank you for your commitment to an excellent customer experience."

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."
- La'Donna Turnipseed-Scott, Investor, LA
"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
"To you I say, ”KUDOS to Best Transactional Funding and Thank you for providing the education and services to Real Estate Entrepreneurs like me. Please keep up the good work!'"

Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
Your help negotiating with our title company made our back-to-back deal, finally happen. People noticed on settlement day how effectively and efficiently your part of the transaction was organized and executed. Again, thank you for truthfully being the "BEST" at what you do!"
