But, financially speaking, homeownership still beats renting, as shown by a new study from ATTOM Data Solutions, a real estate data firm. In about 6 out of 10 localities across the U.S., it is cheaper to own a home than rent, so it is still a good idea to own rather than rent, even more so in creeping inflation environments like we have been experiencing. Still, it is usually easier to sign a lease contract than to get a mortgage.

Employees have more flexibility on their hands regarding their working habits than they ever anticipated. They have been finding ways to spend this newly acquired flexibility for their benefit and for the use of their employers through increased productivity levels. An aspect that has attracted attention recently is that the option of "working from home" has allowed individuals to enjoy fresh air and quality time with friends and family in vacation-like settings without utilizing their vacation days. A new standard option for people who can work from home is spending time in what used to be considered "a vacation home," whether it be on the outskirts of town, at the beach, by a lake, or in a scenic area. You can come into work on time without ever having to commute, and as soon as your workday is over, you are in a "vacation setting." As to how this new trend impacts real estate, there seems to be a booming market as "vacation home" sales (or sale of houses in what we're up to a few years ago considered "vacation towns") continue to grow.

In any case, given that the hot housing market is very much in the news these days, we would like to help you decide whether the time is right for you to invest in the real estate market in the next 12 to 18 months (we are writing this blog in early September 2021). So, with all the caveats in place and all the legal disclaimers that we are not fortune tellers, the following are some informed predictions about what you might expect to see in the next year and a half in the residential property market. Spoiler: now is the time to invest in residential property.

In the past four years, the average gross flipping profit for investors has been between [$60,000 and $70,000](https://www.attomdata.com/news/market-trends/flipping/attom-data-solutions-q2-2020-u-s-home-flipping-report/). However, if you don't do it properly, it's also possible to end up with a loss instead. As the name suggests, these properties need to be "fixed" before they are sold again. Fixing most commonly refers to repair work. It may be tempting to repair a few things in the house here and there and resell them. However, we also recommend following the advice from a professional home inspector for the highest profit.  [Read More](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/learn-how-to-prioritize-repairs-to-a-fix-and-flip-property-and-make-the-most-of-your-hard-money-loan) Topics: [hard money lenders](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/topic/hard-money-lenders), [residential hard money loans](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/topic/residential-hard-money-loans), [fix and flip](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/topic/fix-and-flip) ## [What Is the Difference Between a Non-Qualified Mortgage and a Qualified Mortgage Loan](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/what-is-the-difference-between-a-non-qualified-mortgage-and-a-qualified-mortgage-loan) Posted by [Jim Emerson](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/author/jim-emerson) Oct 1, 2020 12:26:19 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.amilenders.com/hubfs/image001.jpg) ](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/what-is-the-difference-between-a-non-qualified-mortgage-and-a-qualified-mortgage-loan) When looking for [**hard money loans in Houston**](https://www.amilenders.com/blog-ami/ami-hard-money-loans), you'll realize that lending falls into two main categories: [non-qualified mortgage](https://www.amilenders.com/specialty-hard-money-loans) and qualified mortgage loan.
