This was a special one.

This was the borrower's first deal on their own.

That's big.

They experienced all of the ups and downs that come with your first investments property. Documentation, liquidity, appraisal, etc. It can be overwhelming - especially if there is a gap in communication and expectations.

But - this borrower felt supported throughout the whole process and ended up with a solid first property!

Big Takeaways from this deal:
- Be human
- For investors, don't follow the hype. I'll say it over and over - know your buy box and stick to it
- A good process wins, every time!

This borrower had a long road and several issues with the appraisal, but they trusted the process and ended up with a solid cash-out refinance.

3 Takeaways from this deal:
1) Investors need a well defined buy box. By not having a buy box you're just gambling. This borrower had a solid buy box and it served them very well

2) Appraisers are humans. Self explanatory.

3) Providing a trusted process makes all the difference for an investor especially when hiccups arise

We strive to be trusted partners for all of our investors as they build generational wealth and provide better housing options for their communities!

Investors predicted rates below 6% this year. They were wrong.

Here's what happened:

At the start of 2026, most real estate investors expected 30-year mortgage rates to land between 5.5% and 5.99%. Rate relief was the #1 opportunity they were counting on.

Then the war in Iran started.

Inflation jumped from 2.4% to 3.3% in a single month. Rates climbed ~0.4% in response.

And just like that, the prevailing prediction shifted.

Investors now expect rates to stay between 6% and 6.49% for the foreseeable future.

So what are investors focusing on instead?

Better negotiating leverage. Improved deal flow. Falling prices in select markets. The Midwest and Southeast in particular.

The playbook changed. The ambition didn't.

This is just one finding from our Q2 2026 Investor Pulse Survey — we talked to 234 active real estate investors to find out exactly how sentiment is shifting and where they're putting their money next.
