Home flipping remains up in 2022 across U.S. But gross profits fall to another low

ATTOM has released its year-end 2022 U.S. Home Flipping Report, which shows that 407,417 single-family homes and condos in the United States were flipped in 2022. That was up 14 percent from 357,666 in 2021, and up 58 percent from 2020, to the highest point since at least 2005.

The report reveals that the number of homes flipped by investors last year represented 8.4 percent of all home sales, also the largest figure since at least 2005. The latest portion was up from 5.9 percent in 2021 and 5.8 percent in 2020.

But even as quick buy-renovate-andresell turnarounds by investors shot up, gross profit margins on home flips in 2022 sank to their lowest level since 2008 following the second major drop in two years.

Homes flipped in 2022 typically generated a gross profit of $67,900 nationwide (the difference between the median sales price and the median amount originally paid by investors). That was down 3 percent from $70,000 in 2021 and translated into just a 26.9 percent return on investment compared to the original acquisition price. The latest nationwide ROI (before accounting for mortgage interest, property taxes, renovation expenses and other holding costs) was down from 32.6 percent in 2021 and from 41.9 percent in 2020.

Investors saw their profit margins drop for the fifth time in the past six years as the median value of the homes they flipped rose more slowly than the median price they paid to purchase properties –12 percent versus 17 percent.

The decline in home-flipping profits in 2022 continued to cast a negative light on a niche of the U.S. housing market that is growing but also struggling to figure out how to profit from changing price trends.

The latest drop-off came during a year when the nation’s decade-long homeprice runup began to stall, leading to the weakest annual gains in three years and even a decline in the second half of 2022. That happened as rising home-mortgage rates, consumer price inflation and other forces cut into what home seekers could afford, reducing demand and cutting into prices investors were able to get on resale. But profits for home flippers had begun diminishing in 2017 even as the broader housing market was booming.

“Last Year, home flippers throughout the U.S. experienced another tough period as returns took yet another hit. For the second straight year, more investors were flipping but found no simple path to quick profits,” said Rob Barber, chief executive officer at ATTOM. “Indeed, returns are now at the point where they could easily be wiped out by the carrying costs during the renovation and repair process, which

usually accounts for 20 to 33 percent of the resale price. This year will reveal more about whether investors decide to find different ways to profit from homeflipping or take a step back and wait for conditions to get better.”

Home flipping rates up in almost all housing markets, with biggest increases in South and West

Home flips as a portion of all home sales increased from 2021 to 2022 in 216 of the 218 metropolitan statistical areas analyzed in the report (99 percent). Among the 25 largest increases in annual flipping rates, 20 were in the South and West. They were led by Burlington, VT (rate up 283.7 percent); Prescott, AZ (up 183.1 percent); Bremerton, WA (up 182.7 percent); Jackson, MS (up 176 percent) and Honolulu, HI (up 172.6 percent). Metro areas qualified for the report if they had a population of at least 200,000 and at least 100 home flips in 2022.

Aside from Honolulu, the biggest increases in flipping rates in 2022 in metro areas with a population of 1 million or more were in Sacramento, CA (rate up 116.4 percent); Atlanta, GA (up 94.3 percent); Minneapolis, MN (up 72.8 percent) and Orlando, FL (up 72.2

Pillars of Wealth: Investing in real estate without owning a home

but still want exposure to the property market in their portfolio.

Liam Gibson | Wealth of Geeks

Data shows that over the past 150 years, those who’ve bought up real estate have seen a handsome return on their capital.

One academic study that assessed asset classes between 1870 and 2015 across several wealthy countries, including the U.S., found that property’s rate of return was around 7% per year. This meant real estate marginally outperformed stocks, which brought in returns slightly under 7% over the same period, yet with much more significant price stability.

However, with house prices skyrocketing since the pandemic, a larger portion of younger people are getting shut out of the market.

According to the most recent census data, Millennial homeownership rates stands at 48.6%, a significantly lower rate than the homeownership rates of previous generations at that age.

While housing prices have cooled somewhat in the past year, the country is short millions of homes, and this chronic supply shortage will likely continue to buoy prices.

Fortunately, buying a quarter-acre block is not the only way to get exposure to one of the safest and best wealthgenerating assets. There are numerous ways to invest in

the real estate sector without the trappings of traditional ownership. This post will look at some of the advantages of alternative methods to property investment.

The property market is becoming more accessible through alternative investment models, which have several advantages.

One perk is that it enables investment in geographically remote areas far from your locale. With crowdfunding platforms like RealtyMogul, investors can access some of the fastest-growing urban areas in the U.S. from the other side of the country without ever setting foot in the neighborhood.

Owning a physical property requires a lot of maintenance and many hours spent on site on repairs, so remote ownership frees up more time and saves investors much effort and hassle. It also requires less upfront capital, so younger investors can enter the market sooner and compound their returns for a longer time horizon.

Pooling Together

Real Estate Investment Trusts ( REITs) present a much more affordable option for young newcomers and lower the barrier to entry for those who can’t afford a downpayment for a mortgage

With REITs, it is possible to own a portion of a fund that owns a slew of commercial properties and residential properties. The rental income collected on these properties is then passed on to investors, just as companies pay quarterly dividends to shareholders. There is a range of REITs, from public to private, with most holding equities in properties, while some specialize in holding mortgages.

Real Land

Another often ov erlooked investment property option is to buy a plot of farmland. Unlike a city apartment or suburban house, farmland presents an open canvas for potential development. The land can generate agricultural output, either supporting livestock or cultivating fresh produce for profit. Farms can not only diversify your asset mix but serve as a great stabilizer of your portfolio. Cryptocurrencies and stocks may soar up and down while property markets in cities boom and bust, but food-producing land is always needed to feed the population. Hence, farmland’s ancient function value endures as the breadbasket of a society, ensuring farmland holds its value over time.

Farmland can be used to generate rental income too, either by leasing it out to farmers or converting it into another usage, such as a camping site or a space for building several Airbnbs offering unique stays during travel.

As a tangible asset, farmland can be passed down

through the generations and is easily divisible if it needs to be split between different beneficiaries.

Take Note

Instead of taking out a home loan, you can issue one with mortgage notes. These allow investors to purchase a mortgage loan from a bank and effectively become the lender themselves, earning payments from the borrower. This way, the investor earns interest on the mortgage loan, just as a bank would.

This can offer a relatively passive form of income through regular payments from the borrower. With interest factored in, mortgage notes can bring in higher returns than other assets, such as stocks or bonds.

However, mortgage notes are not very liquid. If the investor needs money on hand, notes can’t be easily converted into cash. There is also the risk that the borrower defaults on the loan, which would put the noteholder in the red.

While owning a home has long been a pillar of the American dream, it is not becoming a reality for many young people across the country. Breaking into the property market is tough, and with property prices and interest rates potentially staying higher for longer, things are not looking any easier. Leveraging these and other alternative modes of investment enable younger investors still able to tap the growth of the real estate market and build a more secure financial future for themselves over the long term.

The power of first impressions

BY LISHA MAXWELL

“You’ll never get a second chance to make a great first impression.” I’m sure you’ve heard that many times, and it’s true on a personal level or if you are thinking of selling your home. First impressions are formed in a tenth of a second!

How can you make sure the first impression your house makes is a good one?

Staging: Make sure all personal photos and personalized mementos are packed away. Buyers will get distracted looking at your personal items instead of envisioning themselves living there. The home should feel spacious, inviting, and well-lit, as well as having visual cues of the room function. When staging a home, I strategically place signs to help buyers feel connected to the home. This might be as simple as a sign by the front door such as “Welcome Home” or “It’s Good to be Home.” My goal in staging is to make every buyer that walks into your home fall in love with it. We know emotions trigger people to buy a home.

Professional Photographs: Since 91% of buyers start their search online, it is essential to make sure their first impression online is a great one! If they don’t like the online pictures, they won’t schedule an appointment to see the house. Houses with professional photography sell on average 32% faster!

Emotions: As soon as they walk through the door, buyers will have their first impression. You should appeal to all their senses: sight, smell, and sound. Make sure the home is uncluttered and smells fresh, with soft music playing when they enter. Does it feel welcoming and inviting? 95% of purchasing decisions are based on emotions. Logic makes people think. Emotions trigger people to act. Buyers are looking for a home

percent).

The only metro areas where home flipping rates decreased from 2021 to 2022 were New Orleans, LA (rate down 8.2 percent) and Green Bay WI (down 2.9 percent).

Home flips purchased with cash financing decrease again while all-cash transactions go up

Nationally, the percentage of flipped homes purchased with financing decreased in 2022 to 35.2 percent, down from 35.9 percent in 2021 and from 41 percent in 2020.

Meanwhile, 64.8 percent of homes flipped in 2022 were bought with allcash, up from 64.1 percent in 2021 and from 59 percent two years earlier.

Among metropolitan areas with a population of 1 million or more and sufficient data to analyze, those with the highest percentage of flipped homes purchased by investors with financing in 2022, included Boston, MA (53.7 percent); San Diego, CA (51 percent); Seattle, WA (50.8 percent); Providence, RI (50.5 percent) and San Jose, CA (50.1 percent).

In that same group, the metro areas with the highest percentage of flips purchased with all cash included Detroit, MI (84.7 percent); Atlanta, GA (80.7 percent); Buffalo, NY (80.6 percent);

that they can connect with and visualize themselves living in.

Curb Appeal: How does the home look from the street? Does it look like the home has been well maintained? Is the landscaping neat and tidy, or does it look like a tornado ripped through it? What about the front door or porch area? Pay special attention to the area around the front door. Potential buyers will be standing at the door and look around while the realtor is opening the lockbox. Is there peeling paint? Are the exterior light fixtures working? Buyers have a first impression of the home from the outside, and they start visualizing what they think they will see inside.

Simple things by the front door, such as a pop of color with fresh potted flowers or a new fresh “Welcome Home” doormat, are a nice touch. Think about having the sidewalk to your home power washed and the pine straw in the flower beds freshened up.

Typical gross profits on home flips decline in half the nation

Homes flipped in 2022 were sold for a median price nationwide of $320,000, generating a gross flipping profit of $67,900 above the median original purchase price paid by investors of $252,100. That national gross-profit figure was down from $70,000 in 2021 (the high point since at least 2005) but still up from $67,000 in 2020.

Among the 56 metro areas in the U.S. with a population of 1 million or more, those with the largest gross flipping profits in 2022 were San Jose, CA ($242,625); San Francisco, CA ($163,000); Washington, DC ($146,728); New York, NY (141,332) and Seattle, WA ($137,664).

The lowest gross flipping profits among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in 2022 were in Kansas City, MO ($26,963); San Antonio, TX ($29,000); Houston, TX ($29,901); Indianapolis, IN ($34,532) and Dallas, TX ($36,970).

Home flipping returns drop in three-quarters of U.S., hitting lowest nationwide level in over 15 years

The gross profit margin on the typical home flip in the U.S. last year fell to 26.9 percent - the smallest investment return since at least 2005. The ROI on medianpriced home flips nationwide has dropped

“The project and final development of the Whiskgars concept was a dream come true. I believe the cigar and whiskey experience has brought tremendous growth to the downtown area and Gastonia as a whole,” said Jacob Hibberts, the previous owner of Whiskgars. “I truly appreciate all of the support from our members and the greater Gaston community, and I am confident that Dan Weiss and his team are more than capable of continuing and improving Whiskgars going forward!”

Menagerie Hospitality Group announces

The Vintage’s second lounge

Menagerie Hospitality Group announces the expansion of The Vintage, Charlotte’s premier membership whiskey and cigar lounge, by acquiring Gastonia’s staple cigar spot, “Whiskgars Cigar & Co.,” at 190 W. Main Ave. For the short term, the Vintage team will operate Whiskgars in its current capacity, leveraging the gorgeous space and amazing team; rebranding to The Vintage Gastonia is a mid-term goal.

The Hibberts family founded Whiskgars in 2021, housed in a 90-year-old historical building, breaking the space into a dual lounge layout: a 3,000 sq. ft. non-smoking cocktail bar area and a private 2,500 sq. ft. smoking lounge with a VIP room, walkin humidor and lockers equipped with two separate HVAC units to cut down smoke migration.

Similar to The Vintage Charlotte, the Gastonia lounge serves craft cocktails made by expert bartenders and elevated shareables like charcuterie boards and seasonal tapas plates with hopes to expand the food menu in the lounge’s larger kitchen. The Vintage Gastonia is an extension of the Charlotte lounge, and the team plans on making only minimal changes, including adding a back patio so members can listen to live performances at the Rotary Centennial Pavilion, and will continue perks that Whiskgars regulars have come to love like live weekly local music.

“The location emulates everything that The Vintage stands for, from the luxurious leather couches and chairs to the 36-foot granite bar. We felt a calling to continue the previous owner, Jacob Hibbert’s dream and honor all the work and effort he has put in to make a place for the whiskey and cigar community,” said Dan Weiss, President of Menagerie Hospitality Group. “Gastonia is also the perfect place for our growth for many reasons. We will offer reciprocating membership benefits so guests can visit either spot to have a variety of experiences, and because we’ll be operating in a new county, there is less competition for top-tier spirits - we’ll be able to snag some really cool stuff for our Gastonia guests to enjoy, spirits that have been too hard to come by

“We’ve had an eye on Gastonia for a while because the market is growing so fast. We are really looking forward to embedding ourselves in the community and welcome Whiskgars guests to stop in and meet our team soon. It is our goal to manage a smooth transition, ensuring a lovely guest experience without disruption,” said Ben Torres, VP of Operations for the Menagerie Group.

Home buyers’ mortgage payments have started stretching a bit further in recent months

As mortgage rates doubled last year, the home price afforded by a $3,000 payment1 plummeted from $865,000 in January to a low of $560,000 in October. That significantly changed the size and price of homes within a buyer’s reach. On average, a $3,000 monthly mortgage payment today buys a home 140 square feet smaller than a home purchased a year ago.

But as rates have dropped from a peak just above 7%, buyers are getting larger homes, with higher price tags, at a fixed monthly cost. The typical home value associated with a $3,000 mortgage payment is up about $60,000 since October and home size has recovered by 84 square feet.

“Mortgage rates have a huge impact on the types of homes buyers are able to afford. Rates that doubled over the past year carved an extra bedroom or office space off of homes at the national level, though the sting has lessened in recent weeks,” said Anushna Prakash, economic data analyst at Zillow.

“Buyers in more affordable hot markets are still getting solid bang for their buck, despite losing a lot of purchasing power.”

The annual decline is more pronounced in some markets. Hartford saw the largest drop in what $3,000 per month can buy in 2022, losing 1,200 square feet. Buyers in Indianapolis and Cleveland both lost out on more than 1,000 square feet in the last year. Cleveland and Kansas City are among the top 10 metros for home size at this price point and are among Zillow’s 10 hottest markets for 2023.

Homes in less expensive markets have a larger footprint to begin with, and therefore had farther to fall as climbing mortgage rates applied pressure to buyers’ wallets. As costs rose in 2022, there were more buyers competing in those markets than in their more expensive counterparts.

On the other hand, $3,000 per month has always gotten a buyer less space in pricey markets, but their floor plans are shrinking all the same. In San Jose it will buy a

1,052-square-foot home, down from 1,268 square feet last year. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are close behind, with square footage for each below 1,400 square feet.

Although affordability is still a major challenge, buying power for home shoppers has rebounded in recent months. Since bottoming out in October, home size for a $3,000 payment has increased the most in Salt Lake City (365 square feet), Minneapolis (357), Memphis (346) and Denver (340).

Heading into the home shopping season, shoppers should prepare by improving their credit as much as possible in order to score the best mortgage rate. Even a small rate drop can save tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a loan. A borrower with an “excellent” credit score — between 760 and 850 — can qualify for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with a 6.0% interest rate2. For the same loan, a similar borrower with a “fair” credit score — between 620 and 639 — qualifies for a 7.58% rate. This equates to a $348 difference in monthly mortgage payments and nearly $125,431 in interest over the life of a 30-year fixed loan, based on the current price of a typical U.S. home ($329,542).

show a lack of future planning for caregiving. Most are not thinking about the increased likelihood that they or a family member may become disabled as part of the aging process, which may accelerate their need to stop working before they plan to do so. Results also indicate that they do not consider the costs associated with caring for themselves or a loved one in their financial plans for retirement.

“At Voya, we’re committed to helping employers meet the many benefits needs of every generation of employees — to help them achieve financial well-being through each stage of life,” said Heather Lavallee, CEO, Voya Financial. “This research speaks to the importance of helping meet the unique needs of workers nearing or at traditional retirement ages through workplace benefits — and supporting their employees’ immediate needs, while helping them to prepare for retirement, whenever that may occur.”

In a shift in how traditional retirement is prepared for and viewed, respondents indicated the education, guidance and workplace benefits that would be most helpful to them as they extend their employment and work toward retirement, including:

• Education to help with transitioning to retirement;

• Retirement plan options focused on providing an income stream; and

• Assistance maximizing benefit dollars across retirement savings and workplace health benefits.

Easterseals — one of the nation’s leading disability and community services providers — and Voya Cares® — a program of Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) that provides resources, thought leadership and advocacy for disability inclusion — announced today the release of a new research paper, titled Employment Extenders: A (labor) force to be reckoned with. The paper focuses on understanding the mindset of Employment Extenders, the individuals who make up the fastest growing segment of the labor market, and points to ways that employers and service providers can support older workers as they prepare to retire.

“Employers and employees often believe that, once an individual reaches a certain age, it’s time for them to start thinking about retirement, but the trend toward continuing to retire later in life, or not at all, is growing,” said Kendra E. Davenport, president and CEO, Easterseals. “In a tight labor market, Employment Extenders often represent years of experience and professional knowledge that can benefit an employer’s entire workforce, but our study finds that they have unique concerns and needs that employers and community service providers can help them address.”

Survey findings reveal seemingly contradictory motivations for extending employment, which raise the question about whether Employment Extenders in the U.S. are working longer because they want to or need to. While the majority of survey participants indicate that they have not saved enough for retirement, with most having less than $500,000 in savings, they also say they are working longer because they want to.

Additionally, Employment Extenders

“While stereotypes persist about older workers and their contributions to the productivity and cost of an employer’s workforce, the fact that more people over 65 are employed — due to a variety of population and social factors — is well established,” said Jessica Tuman, vice president of Voya Cares and Voya Financial’s ESG Practice Centers of Excellence. “Employers who are challenged by a tight labor market need to look no further than their own workforce to help ease the shortage of workers.” Staff report

ENNICO: Some real-world advice for amazon sellers

It’s hard to believe, but next year will mark the 20th anniversary of my involvement with the eBay and Amazon seller communities.

It all began quite harmlessly, with an out-of-the-blue call from Entrepreneur magazine asking me if I could put together a quick and dirty talk on the “legal and tax aspects of selling on eBay” and presenting it at eBay’s annual seller convention in New Orleans, three days later.

Since I can never say no to an offer like this, I took the gig and thought to myself as I was flying down to New Orleans, “There will probably be only 10 or 20 people at this thing. Nobody shows up for law lectures.”

Boy, was I wrong. When I walked into the room, there were over 300 people in the crowd. More than 5,000 people were attending the conference. And that was in 2004.

Today, selling stuff on eBay and Amazon (and Etsy and Shopify) is one of the biggest side hustles in America. Millions of Americans make a full-time or part-time living selling on these platforms, and I can’t think of how many casual “hobby” sellers there are out there. You probably have at least three living on your street, if you are not one yourself.

And I have to believe more than half of these people have written how-to books for other sellers on their adventures. I get lots of them in the mail, mostly autographed, from people I’ve met at eBay and Amazon seller conferences (roaring back to life now postpandemic).

But every once in a while, a seller’s guide comes along that just knocks me back in my chair, and when that happens, I have to write about it.

15 percentage points since 2020 and is off by 24 points since 2016.

Margins fell last year as the median nationwide resale price on flipped homes increased just 12.3 percent, from $285,000 in 2021 to $320,000 in 2022. That was less than the 17.3 percent increase in the price investors were paying when they bought homes (from $215,000 to $252,100).

The typical home-flipping investment return decreased from 2021 to 2022 in 168, or 77 percent, of the 218 metro areas analyzed.

Among metro areas with a population of 1 million or more, the biggest percentage-point decreases in profit margins during 2022 were in Rochester, NY (ROI down from 100.4 percent in 2021 to 55.6 percent in 2022); Oklahoma City, OK (down from 63.6 percent to 35.1 percent); Philadelphia, PA (down from 106.3 percent to 78 percent); Richmond, VA (down from 91.4 percent to 68.6 percent) and Washington, D.C. (down from 61 percent to 42.7 percent).

In that same group of markets with populations of at least 1 million, the largest increases in returns on investment on the typical home flips were in Cleveland, OH (ROI up from 26.8 percent in 2021 to 41.4 percent in 2022); New Orleans, LA (up from 54.1 percent to 64.6 percent); Cincinnati, OH (up from 38.4 percent to 47.4 percent); Honolulu, HI (up from 5.7 percent to 7.4 percent) and Orlando, FL (up from 17.6 percent to 18.7 percent).

He started selling auto parts and other metal doodads on eBay right around the time I started speaking at seller conventions, and built a successful e-commerce brand on eBay and Amazon. If you’ve always wondered what a “hickey bar” was, this is the book for you.

He also happens to be one of the funniest writers I’ve encountered in this space.

“The Desperate Days of Doyle: An Introverts Guide to Ecommerce” (selfpublished, available for $10 in paperback on Amazon) is an unabashed, first-person, hellI-don’t-have-the-money-for-a-proofreader account of Carver’s rise from failed mechanic/ musician/home builder/motorcycle bum to successful e-commerce entrepreneur.

Here is Carver’s take on the major online selling platforms:

“To say that one is better than the other is just plain lazy. Each platform has its strong points. Amazon is the giant of the woods, having actually trained its customers to come to them first, while eBay has a tendency to sell the odd and one of a kind thought they have really leaned towards bringing the Chinese sellers into the market. Etsy has a ton of one of a kind, handmade items that are also hard to find anywhere but there. Wal-Mart, while another giant in the woods is still learning the ropes. They tend to push the cheapest of the cheap. Not to say they only sell junk, they don’t, but they seem to place pricing consideration over everything else. Consider what you are selling and where it will do the most good.”

Among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million, the biggest gross profit margins in 2022 were in Pittsburgh, PA (114.2 percent); Buffalo, NY (90.7 percent); Philadelphia, PA (78 percent); Baltimore, MD (72.9 percent) and Richmond, VA (68.6 percent). The smallest were in Honolulu, HI (7.4 percent); Austin, TX (8.2 percent); Sacramento, CA (9.4 percent); Phoenix, AZ (10.6 percent) and Houston, TX (11.3 percent).

Average days to flip nationwide increases

Home flippers who sold homes in 2022 took an average of 164 days, or about 5 ½ months, to complete the flips. That was up from 152 days for homes flipped in 2021 but still down from 182 days in 2020.

Percent of flipped homes sold to FHA buyers ticks back up

Of the 407,417 U.S. homes flipped in 2022, just 8.4 percent were sold to buyers using a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). That was up slightly from 8 percent in 2021 but remained down 13.9 percent in 2020. It was less than one-third of the 27.4 percent sold to FHA buyers in 2010.

Among the 218 metro areas with a population of at least 200,000 and at least 100 home flips in 2022, those with the highest percentage of flipped homes sold in 2022 to FHA buyers — typically firsttime homebuyers — were Merced, CA (25.6 percent); Visalia, CA (24.6 percent);

online sellers thrive or crash. Carver’s advice is straightforward: “First buy things other people don’t sell. When a bunch of sellers gang up on an item, the price falls. Most of the sellers get hurt in this. At the end though when everybody is out of this item, you can get the margin you need.”

Carver advocates a “shotgun” approach when it comes to buying in bulk -- where you buy small amounts of individual SKUs (stock keeping units) to test which items will sell. “Just put them up for sale and see what happens,” Carver says. “My risk of buying a dud is lessened but most importantly the opportunity to find a hit increases tremendously.”

And never lose sight of what Carver calls the “whoa factor.” Carver says that if an item doesn’t have that, he won’t buy it. “It has to strike my imagination, or provide a perfect fix for a problem, or just be cool. Whatever cool is ... (but) I will admit that what makes me say WHOA might not translate to you.”

My only negative comment on this book

Springfield, MA (22.2 percent); Laredo, TX (21.9 percent) and Modesto, CA (20.6 percent).

More than 200 counties had a home flipping rate of at least 10 percent in 2022

Among 955 counties with at least 50 home flips in 2022, there were 219 counties where flips accounted for at least 10 percent of all home sales last year. The top five were all in Georgia: Douglas County, GA (outside Atlanta) (19.5 percent); Lumpkin County, GA (north of Atlanta) (19.2 percent); Clayton County, GA (outside Atlanta) (18.6 percent); Paulding County, GA (outside Marietta) (18.5 percent) and Rockdale County, GA (outside Atlanta) (18 percent).

“While declining margin is certainly a cause for caution, it is important to remember that these numbers are somewhat backward looking in that they reflect dispositions of properties that were acquired in 2021 or early 2022 amidst the Covid-induced bidding wars in many locales”, said Maksim Stavinsky, Co-Founder and President of Roc360.

“On the other hand, it is encouraging that investors were able to clear in excess of four hundred thousand properties – the most ever – in an environment of rising interest rates, without a meaningful increase in project timelines.” Roc360 last week announced the closing of its asset acquisition of Finance of America Commercial, a business purpose loan

GOLDMAN: Want to be promoted? Be invisible.

When asked how to keep a job in a bad economy, a wise man once said, “If they can’t find you, they can’t fire you.”

The success strategy of that wise man, who just happens to be me, would not be endorsed by Caroline Castrillon -- the author of “5 Ways To Increase Your Visibility At Work,” a recent post on Forbes.com.

According to Castrillon, “to get ahead in your career, people need to know who you are and what you’re capable of.”

No doubt, the author knows a lot about business, but she definitely knows nothing about you. Because it’s clear that the only way you will get ahead in your career is for people to not know who you are and never have the faintest suspicion of what you are capable of.

You agree, I’m sure.

Which brings us to the question of how to become invisible in the highly surveilled business environment of today. And it doesn’t matter that you no longer work in an office, with your manager peeking over a cubicle wall to catch you hiding under your desk. Even working in the solitude of your bedroom closet, you are still vulnerable. In a digital world where every email is catalogued, every Zoom meeting is monitored, and every keystroke is counted, there is simply no place to hide.

On the plus side, a 2023 survey by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM to its friends) revealed that “fortytwo percent of supervisors overseeing remote workers said they sometimes forget about remote workers when assigning tasks.”

Alas, not everyone is lucky enough to have a supervisor who forgets they exist. It will take work to wrap yourself in a cloak of invisibility. How about this: Let’s look at what Forbes thinks you have to do to increase your visibility and do the exact opposite.

No. 1: Participate in conversations

If you want to be visible, the

workers are actively pursuing jobs with the mid and smaller companies that make up the majority of the U.S. and global workforce.”

Job seekers remain generally optimistic about employment prospects, with threequarters of respondents characterizing the current job market as very strong, strong or average. This measured optimism is buttressed by the latest national employment data reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which shows a historically low unemployment rate and surprisingly strong job gains of 517,000 new jobs added in January.1

Beyond financial considerations and life and career priorities, unhappiness with their current career trajectory, burnout and stress as other factors contributing to interest in seeking new employment.

For 63% of job seekers a culmination of factors contributed to their decision to look at other options, while 37% said their decision was prompted by a specific factor. One in three job seekers reports being stuck in a rut and wanting a change.

Job seekers hold the perception that technology and healthcare fields are relatively more difficult to transition to. Specifically in the case of technology

recommendation is “sharing facial expressions and non-verbal cues, which help foster a sense of connection.” To foster a sense of disconnection, the invisible man or woman carefully picks their facial expressions. Sticking out your tongue when your manager starts to speak or putting a finger in your mouth and pretending to gag when they finish will so overload your manager’s teeny-tiny brain they will completely blank out your presence. They may see you, but they won’t remember you.

It’s a wonderful technique for expressing your opinion and being invisible, all at the same time.

No. 2: Show enthusiasm for learning

You can stand out from the crowd by “earning certificates or enrolling in courses relevant to your role.” You can disappear from the crowd by enrolling in courses that have nothing to do with your role. Be careful here -- a certificate in astrology or a degree in mycology could attract attention, especially if you work for an Aries who spends their vacations hunting for pig’s ears and turkey tails.

No. 3: Volunteer for stretch assignments

You can raise your profile by looking for “cross-functional assignments sponsored by senior leaders.” This means, I’m afraid, that if you want to stay below the radar, you’ll have to give up those plum stretch assignments you have now, like taking the CFO’s laundry to the dry cleaners and washing the CEO’s Bentley.

No. 4: Share the spotlight

“Sharing the credit strengthens team morale while embracing company culture and building trust,” writes Castrillon. Fortunately, little of what you do is worthy of the spotlight, so don’t worry about sharing the credit. If that feels uncaring, relax -- next time you screw up, share the blame.

No. 5: Establish a strong relationship with your manager

Buddying up with your manager can

there remains a “confidence gap” of real or perceived barriers that deter consideration for pursuing a technology career path. Thirty-seven percent of Gen Xers and 34% of Gen Zers express concern about starting too far behind and similar percentages express concern around lacking skills.

“A lack of confidence can be generated by something as simple as a poorly constructed help wanted ad,” said Thibodeaux. “Requirements for college degrees highlevel credential that are unnecessary for entry-level tech positions may keep potentially qualified and motivated individuals from even considering these jobs.”

The report shows that many people face serious challenges as they seek new employment opportunities. Women cite the time commitment required to look for a new job and the need to balance their search with the demands of work or family at slightly higher rates than men. Gen Zers and Millennials rate mental fatigue as a challenge at a slightly higher rate than Baby Boomers. Frustration with automated application systems that screen out candidates and information overload from job boards and career sites also cause angst for job seekers.

Staff report

have an upside to the employee seeking visibility. You can “ask to present at the next staff meeting or town hall,” which could get you noticed as you “develop a reputation as a thought leader.” As a seeker of invisibility, you want to develop a reputation as a thought follower, especially when the thought is to take a two-hour lunch or leave work early.

The rest is easy. Never speak up at meetings and refuse to respond to emails. Change your phone message to “the person you have reached does not exist.”

By ghosting your manager, you could disappear. Remember -- as an invisible

female professionals in the marketing, creative, digital, fashion, beauty, and retail spaces.

The report found that while most women today are ready and willing to negotiate when it comes to compensation, a majority (54%) feel like their gender has played a role in them being overlooked for a raise or promotion. Compensation was cited as the number one reason woman had left (or wanted to leave) their current jobs.

One of the most alarming findings was that 86% of those surveyed said they feel just as, if not more, stressed than last year. The biggest stressors cited were a lack of work-life balance, a heavy workload, and a lack of flexibility at work. These findings are a stark warning to employers that they need to help balance the workload or risk losing top female talent to companies offering greater flexibility.

“The report findings are clear that while women are certainly achieving a high level of success in the workplace, the lack of work-life balance many female professionals face is driving them to

employee, the highest praise you can receive from a supervisor is, “Do you work here?”

“I definitely do not work here,” you can say. It’s true, too, but as long as you’re invisible, they’ll never notice.

consider opportunities that provide more flexibility. Failing to address the issues that matter most to women can cost employers,” says 24 Seven CEO Anthony Donnarumma. “The Amplifying Women at Work Report speaks directly to employers on how they can get in front of these challenges before it’s too late.”

The latest report also features tips from 24 Seven Founder and Chairwoman, Celeste Gudas, who shares her guidance on how women navigating their careers can be their own best advocates. Celeste was recently named to the prestigious Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list.

“As a female-founded and majority femaleled organization, 24 Seven is uniquely equipped to speak to the issues that matter most to women in today’s workforce,” Gudas says. “I started 24 Seven fueled by my own passion to help women navigate their careers and achieve financial freedom. But as a woman in the workforce myself, I intimately understand the very real challenges we face. I hope this report not only helps employers see the value of amplifying and supporting their female workforce – but also helps women see their own value and that of the women around them. As the saying goes, we rise by lifting others.”

Stocks dip, yields drop on latest signs of slowing economy

BY STAN CHOE AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are dipping on Wall Street Wednesday, and Treasury yields are dropping following the latest signals that the U.S. economy is slowing under the weight of much higher interest rates.

The S&P 500 was 0.6% lower in afternoon trading, a day after it broke a four-day winning streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was edging up by 3 points, or less than 0.1%, to 33,405, as of 1:04 p.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 1.5% lower.

The moves were sharper in the bond market, where yields sank following weaker-than-expected reports on the health of U.S. services industries and the job market. They’re the latest signs that the economy is losing momentum following a feverish set of hikes to interest rates by the Federal Reserve meant to get inflation under control.

One report from the Institute for Supply Management said that growth in the U.S. services sector slowed last month by more than economists expected, as the pace of new orders

cooled. A separate report suggested private employers added 145,000 jobs in March, down sharply from February’s 261,000. Perhaps more importantly for markets, pay raises also weakened for workers, according to the ADP Research Institute.

“Our March payroll data is one of several signals that the economy is slowing,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. “Employers are pulling back from a year of strong hiring and pay growth, after a threemonth plateau, is inching down.”

Higher interest rates can undercut inflation, but only by slowing the entire economy with a blunt hammer.

The hope is that the Fed can pull off the tricky balancing act of slowing the economy and job market just enough to stamp out high inflation, but not so much that it causes a recession. The Fed has hiked rates over the last year at the fastest pace in decades.

ADP’s private payroll report could offer a preview of what Friday’s more comprehensive jobs report from the U.S. government will show. Economists expect it to say employers added 240,000 jobs last month, down from 311,000 in February.

If the job market really is slowing from the strong growth that’s helped

to prop up the larger economy recently, it could offer the Fed reason to pause on its hikes to interest rates.

That’s a big deal for markets not only because it could lessen the odds of an upcoming recession, which some economists already see as a high probability. Higher rates also drag on prices for stocks, bonds and other investments.

Other reports on the economy this week also came in weaker than expected, including readings on the number of job openings across the country and the health of the manufacturing sector.

The reports have traders largely betting the Fed will hold rates steady at its next meeting in May, which would be the first time that’s happened in more than a year. Many traders are also betting the Fed will have to cut rates later this year, something that can act like steroids for markets.

The Fed, though, has consistently said it doesn’t expect to cut rates this year. Inflation is still high, and the Fed has talked often about the risk of letting up on the battle too soon. Other central banks around the world are staying aggressive to fight it.

New Zealand’s central bank raised its key rate by half a percentage point

to 5.25%, double the size of what many economists were expecting. It was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s 11th straight rate hike as it tries to cool inflation, which is running at 7.2%, far above the bank’s target level of around 2%.

On Wall Street, the majority of stocks were falling within the S&P 500, but many of the moves were modest.

On the winning side was Johnson & Johnson, which rose 3.6% after it proposed to pay nearly $9 billion to cover allegations that its baby powder containing talc caused cancer. It was one of the biggest drivers of the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s gain for Wednesday.

In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 3.29% from 3.34% late Tuesday. It helps set rates for mortgages and other loans. The two-year yield, which tends to move more on expectations for the Fed, dropped to 3.76% from 3.82%.

Gold was holding relatively steady at $2,036.50 per ounce. It’s up more than 11% so far this year after jumping last month amid worries about the strength of the global banking system.
