Key Takeaways
The market is shifting from a 'survive till '25' mentality to one of forced sales and lender-driven liquidations.
Short sales are re-emerging as a viable strategy, with some assets trading at 45% of the original loan balance.
Success in the current market requires being 'sector agnostic' and moving capital where the cycle is recovering, such as senior housing.
Off-market deal sourcing through property management companies and local bank presidents is more effective than MLS bidding.
Flippers are exiting the market due to poor acquisition skills, creating less competition for savvy long-term investors.
