Flock Homes

When Adrianne Harlow set out to find a home for her family, she faced a tough market: limited inventory, high prices, and soaring mortgage rates. Instead of buying, she found the perfect solution in a single-family rental, complete with four bedrooms, a backyard, porch, and patio. "I've been able to make it my home," she says.   This trend is on the rise. Rebecca Picciotto reports in The Wall Street Journal that millennials are increasingly turning to upscale single-family rentals as a long-term option when homeownership is financially out of reach, a phenomenon driven by a persistent shortage of housing. Beyond cost, many tenants appreciate the convenience of having time-consuming and expensive repairs handled by landlords.   At Flock, we're proud to provide quality homes for families while helping mom-and-pop real estate investors preserve and grow their investments. As the housing landscape evolves, we're committed to creating solutions that benefit both families and property owners. #RealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #Landlord #RentalProperty #WallStreetJournal #PropertyManagement

Extending tax cuts? Opening federal lands for development? Implementing tariffs? The incoming Trump-Vance administration could drastically reshape the real estate market through tax and housing policies. Our latest article analyzes the impacts these proposals would have on property owners, investors, and landlords, weighing both opportunities and challenges for industry stakeholders.   ➡️ Key proposals include: • Extending the tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire in 2025. • Exempting certain types of pay, such as tips and overtime, from taxation, which could significantly impact the investment property landscape in states with large service industries that rely heavily on renters. • Implementing strategies related to domestic manufacturing, immigration, and other areas.   While many details remain uncertain, one thing is clear: Trump's agenda will significantly shape the future of American real estate.   Read our detailed analysis below.   🤔 Which policies do you think will have the greatest impact on real estate in 2025?

Say goodbye to midnight maintenance calls, and hello to passive income and no capital gains taxes. Explore the 721 exchange with Flock. The rest is gravy. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, from Flock Homes.

Are 721 exchanges the 1031 of 2024?   This question was recently explored in a Commercial Property Executive op-ed from Jonathan Hipp, of global real estate services group Avison Young. As Hipp highlights, while a 1031 exchange is an effective tool for deferring taxes, it still leaves investors vulnerable to market fluctuations, such as rising interest rates, costly transactions and the challenge of securing financing. Plus, there's the ongoing responsibility of managing and maintaining the new property.   In contrast, a 721 exchange—where properties are swapped for units in a partnership, such as Flock’s fund—offers several advantages that could be more appealing than the 1031, especially for larger property portfolios. Hipp argues that the 721 exchange is simpler, quicker and more flexible than its 1031 counterpart, providing enhanced liquidity and diversification. Plus, it eliminates the hassles of property management while offering a passive income stream.   Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dpjYVEX7 In 2024, Flock has empowered 50+ landlords with the 721 exchange.

How are rising costs impacting the housing market in real-world terms? A new article in The Wall Street Journal explores the growing challenges in Florida's housing market, driven by "surging insurance costs, high mortgage rates and high home prices." These factors are prompting many to reconsider the appeal of living in the Sunshine State. The report highlights Florida's increased vulnerability to the effects of severe tropical storms and hurricanes, noting that insurance premiums in some areas have risen by as much as 400% over the past five years. Combined with an oversupply of homes and a significant drop in demand, this has created a difficult market for both sellers and institutional investors, who are beginning to divest properties. This trend could signal that the housing market is approaching a critical turning point. At Flock, we talk with people every day who are facing higher real estate costs, both in Florida and nationwide. We've helped hundreds of landlords exit their properties and minimize the risks associated with their investments.   How has the rise in home insurance costs affected housing prices in your neighborhood?  Let us know in the comments below.    #realestate #realestateinvesting #propertymanagement #landlord #rentalproperty #financialplanning #investmentstrategies

The property investment landscape has transformed significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic. To understand how these changes are affecting rental property owners, we recently polled 284 investors through our joint Flock Homes-ResiClub Real Estate Investor Survey, asking them what their biggest concern is today relative to pre-COVID.   The findings reveal a clear hierarchy:   ➡️ Insurance costs emerged as the dominant worry, with 29.2% of investors citing rising premiums as their primary issue.   ➡️ Increased maintenance and turn costs ranked second at 23.9%.   ➡️ Property tax increases followed at 18.1%. ➡️ More delinquent or late-paying tenants came next, at 14.4%. ➡️ Finally, 2.5% of investors pointed to institutional landlords as their biggest concern.   This data shows rental property owners grappling with escalating operational costs in an increasingly complex market environment. Additional concerns addressed in the survey include: How real estate investors think their rental income will grow compared to expenses over the next three years; potential increases in income and capital gains taxes related to their rental properties; increased regulation against landlords; and more.
