Redfin released a report on the most affordable U.S. metro areas for renters.

To rank the metros, Redfin analyzed the median asking rent for apartments across the United States for a three month period — October to December of 2024. Then they estimated the median incomes of renter households using U.S. Census Bureau data from 2023.

Redfin considers an apartment “affordable” if a renter spends no more than 30% of their income on rent.

“Rent affordability is a function of two things, how much rent costs and also how much people earn,” Daryl Fairweather, Chief Economist and Redfin, tells CNBC Make It.

Redfin’s top 10 is comprised of areas with a strong economy and a growing housing market, she adds. cnb.cx/4gAFKiU

Here’s a post I came across in a real estate investing (REI) Facebook group I’m part of. Most homeowners have no idea this is happening. It’s called “wholesaling,” and surprisingly, it doesn’t require a license.

Here’s how it works: A “wholesaler” often presents themselves as a “cash buyer” and makes an offer on homes that need repairs—typically 50-60% below market value. They’ll advertise “full cash” and “quick close,” but their real intention isn’t to buy the home. Instead, they assign the contract to a real investor for a profit.

Sometimes, this process works out, but as you can see from this example, the deal is so bad no serious investor will touch it. When that happens, the wholesaler keeps shopping the contract around, pushes closing dates back, and wastes 30, 60, or even 90 days of the homeowner’s time.

How do I know this? Because I used to be a wholesaler and did these same things. But I’ve since learned better, and I want to help homeowners avoid falling into this trap.

There are ways to protect yourself and spot the warning signs before tying up your most valuable asset with a wholesaler. If you’d like to know more, DM me, and I’d be happy to help!
