Fixing and flipping a house isn’t all HGTV glamour—it’s real work. 🛠️ Between permits, contractors, and budgets that always seem to surprise you, it can feel like a full-on marathon.

Or does the process sound like too much of a headache? 👇 #FixAndFlip #RealEstateLife #InvestSmart #PropertyFlipping

"How long are these TIs going to take?" It's a question that every broker and Landlord struggles to answer with certainty. Why? Because they are not in control of the permit process. As all real estate people know...time is money, which means providing accurate timeline estimates is becoming more and more valuable. Our CW Project & Development Services team (y'all rock) put together a Permit Review Timing Guide to provide more data to our clients based off our own, first-hand experiences around the Triangle. We have the estimated TI Permit Review Time and New Construction Review Time for almost every city and municipality in Wake, Durham, and Orange County for Q3 2024. Shoot me an email at brandt.berry@cushwake.com or drop a comment and I can send you the list! Super helpful to have for informed decision making. #TriangleCRE #PermitReviewTimingGuide

Real Estate Investors currently in South Chicago or looking to get into South Chicago neighborhoods, will the red line expansion be a help or a hinderance? The 5.6 - mile Red Line Extension (RLE) will include four new stations near 103rd Street, 111th Street, Michigan Avenue, and 130th Street providing up to 30-minute time savings to riders traveling to and from the Loop. No doubt this will eventually increase house prices in areas such as Roseland, West Pullman and Altgeld Gardens, as well as surrounding areas. But buy during construction and this might proove challenging to get tenants or to sell or buy before it's confirmed and risk the project not going ahead. https://lnkd.in/gUrPTXcq

This is why production is so important. We do not have enough homes for people, our neighborhoods, and the Commonwealth to thrive. We need to create 200,000 homes across income levels, ranging from Accessory Dwelling Units to supportive housing to mixed income apartment buildings to homeownership opportunities. And, it is vital that we preserve the housing we've got. This includes affordable housing, public housing, naturally occurring affordable housing, and support people in sustaining homeownership. 200,000 new homes means net new homes. We can't lose what we've got and we need more to put the Commonwealth on the path to a bright future where everyone can have a home they can afford in the community they choose. Say yes to more homes in your community.

Zoning laws. Building codes. Permitting headaches. Sound familiar? The reality is stark: residential development is about meeting one of the most basic human needs—housing. Yet, every step of the process seems designed to make it harder, not easier. It’s time to face the facts: zoning reform isn’t just a policy issue; it’s a housing crisis solution. If we don’t streamline the system, we’ll keep falling short on providing the homes people so desperately need.
