By Ryan Squires for TurboTenant Most people picture landlording as a passive endeavor: Own a building, collect a rent check every month, and let the property take care of itself.

By Frank Dinolfo for PropertyReach Veterans Day is the best time to thank former military members for their service and recognize their accomplishments on and off the battlefield. Around 6% of all U.S. adults have either served or are currently serving in the military, and many have used VA loans to secure housing. You might be

By Joe Hooker for Neighbors Bank Buying a home doesn’t have to mean purchasing with a spouse or doing it alone. More people are considering to buy with a close friend, sibling or another unmarried relative as home prices and mortgage costs make homeownership more challenging, Neighbors Bank reports.

By Otto Acosta for Offerpad Putting a property on the market and expecting a quick sale is what many owners want, but focusing on speed may come at the expense of achieving the desired price in all but the most competitive of real estate markets. Most homes require some degree of repair work to attract

By Cheyenne Wiseman for HomeLight As the housing market heads into winter, price cuts are at their highest level in nearly four years. According to Realtor.com’s September 2026 housing data, 20.8% of U.S. listings had a price reduction that month, up from a year earlier. HomeLight used that same dataset, along with local market data, to identify

By Bill Lyons for Griffin Funding Some homeowners have started treating moving and selling as two separate decisions. A job moves to another city, a family outgrows the bedrooms, aging parents need someone closer. So the owner buys somewhere else and rents the old house out instead of listing it. Often, part of the reason

By Bill Lyons for Griffin Funding Many U.S. content creators are new at it. Among 1,000 U.S. creators surveyed in January 2026 by The Influencer Marketing Factory, 23.8% had been creating for less than a year, and another 38.8% for one to three years, so roughly six in ten of those surveyed are three years

With the cost of living continuing to rise across the country, many renters are turning to cost-cutting techniques to afford rent, such as living with a roommate or reducing spending in other areas. While these strategies can help save money, some renters would still rather live alone and pay a premium than live with a roommate. In fact,

Post-COVID-19 housing price corrections continue to dominate real estate headlines. Higher interest rates and economic uncertainty are two main drivers of declining median home values, and macro trends are tough to outrun for the majority of real estate investors. Are there some bright spots in the housing market? Absolutely. PropertyReach shares crucial information on the state

Tenants aren’t moving as often as they used to. According to U.S. Census data analyzed by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, renter mobility rates declined from 29.5% in the early 2000s to 18.1% in 2024, marking a long-term decline in renter mobility. Several factors have likely contributed to the decline in tenant moves, most

The U.S. housing market is in the grip of an affordability crisis. Tight inventory, stubborn economic pressures, and elevated borrowing costs continue to squeeze buyers, while home prices have climbed for 36 consecutive months through July. As a result, would-be homeowners are increasingly discouraged and more risk-averse. When homebuyers want more certainty, they prefer buying new or building

There’s a predictable cycle to the real estate market that happens every September: As the school year kicks off, family buyers pack up and head for the sidelines, leaving listed properties sitting quietly with the falling leaves. Peak summer real estate is noisy, expensive, and packed with emotional buyers overpaying for houses. For everyday retail

Deciding where to teach is important. Along with finding the right school or district, there’s the matter of finding an apartment to call home. It may seem simple at first: Look for an apartment with a manageable commute, space to unwind after the final bell, and perhaps a balcony where you can work on lesson

In a single month, America’s biggest landlords cut their share of home purchases nearly in half. Firms that own more than 1,000 houses bought 2.5% of the single-family homes sold in December 2025 and 1.3% in January 2026, according to Cotality, as Congress moved to restrict institutional buying. Small investors barely flinched. Purchases by buyers

Tenants now shop for landlords like they’re hunting for their next property. They browse neighborhood groups, sort listings by owner rather than by management companies, and ignore listings that mention stopping by a leasing office. These renters are searching for a private landlord. Fortunately for tenants, that search offers plenty of opportunity. Nearly half of

When Kelsey Brown and her husband were searching for a house to buy in 2021, every offer they put in was above the asking price. Five years later, they’re both in their 30s with a second child on the way but aren’t sure when — or where — they’ll be able to afford to move

Buying a manufactured home can be a more affordable path to homeownership, and an FHA loan may make that path even more accessible. These loans, backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), are designed to help more people qualify with lower down payment requirements, flexible credit standards, and competitive interest rates.

Sending a student off to college comes with plenty of big decisions, including one that families may not expect: Is it better to pay rent for four years, or buy a home near campus? On a monthly basis, renting is usually the less expensive option. But the monthly payment is only part of the equation.

Affordability issues can be found across goods and services, and Americans have been hit especially hard with rising housing prices in recent years. According to the Urban Institute, the average sales price for a home is $486,000 in the U.S., while the average monthly rent is $1,890. But the real story behind those numbers depends on where

Co-ownership of property is not a novel concept, and it is becoming more common among younger generations facing an uphill struggle to get onto the property ladder in the first place, according to a 2024 Bankrate survey cited by NPR. This is likely due in large part to house prices regularly setting records and incomes failing to
