Hey community!Last week’s headlines reveal big changes shaping how and when people buy homes in the U.S. real estate market. From older first-time buyers to policy-driven affordability and financing slowdowns, here’s what every investor and wholesaler on Investorlift should know. 🕓 1. First-Time Buyers Are Older Than Ever - Median Age Hits 40 📅 Source: Barron’s, October 30, 2025  "40 and Finally Buying a Home" According to Barron’s, the median age of first-time homebuyers in the U.S. has risen to 40 - a record high. The report, citing NAR data, highlights that affordability challenges and tight inventory are keeping younger buyers on the sidelines longer. 💡 Why It Matters:For wholesalers, this shift could re

📊 The Latest Numbers According to Reuters (Oct 9, 2025), the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate in the U.S. fell slightly to around 6.3%, marking the second consecutive week of modest declines. Despite this dip, rates remain well above pre-pandemic averages and continue to challenge affordability for traditional homebuyers.Even with these small improvements, buyer activity remains muted - many retail buyers are still “waiting on the sidelines,” according to the report. 💡 Why It Matters for you While higher rates slow down conventional buyers, this environment actually creates unique advantages for Investorlift wholesalers and investors:  More motivated sellers - Homeowners facing longer days on market or tighter buyer pools may be more open to cash offers and creative financing structures.

In this video, David (Investorlift) heads into Jacob Blank’s wholesale real estate operation to show exactly how Investorlift’s AI tools and features can transform your disposition game.  Why Investorlift Became a Game Changer Jacob kicks things off by explaining how his business struggled when the wholesale market cooled. They lacked software to push deals out to the right buyers, and as a result deals sat unsold.Once they onboarded with Investorlift, everything shifted: more buyers, more eyes, and more deals closed faster. He describes it bluntly: “Investorlift saved my business… to this day helps us sell our deals quickly and for more profit.” How the AI Features Work (Live Deal Walkthrough) David and Jacob pick a real deal in Griffin, Georgia, and run it through Investorlift’s.

When you hear someone say, “I bet my entire company on AI,” your ears should prick up. Because that’s exactly what Robert Wensley did with Investorlift - and the results are already rewriting the rules of real estate wholesaling.In a recent podcast, Robert pulled back the curtain on the journey, the risks, and the payoff. Here’s what he shared - plus how you can apply the same thinking in your own business. The Moment That Changed the Game Robert recounted a live moment with a customer’s team: they posted a deal, got just a few leads, and they were sweating. Within minutes, the leads surged - but not just leads. Legit buyers. The first offer came in at $570K. Another at $595K. They closed the deal in 15 minutes over just five phone calls. Robert made his first $100K assignment - using the AI product in its early live launch. That wasn’t luck. That was the culmination of years of work, data engineering, and a b

Wholesaling real estate is going through its biggest transformation in over a decade - and it’s being driven by artificial intelligence. In a recent episode of The Wealthy Way Podcast, Ryan Pineda sat down with Robert Wensley, CEO of Investorlift, to discuss what’s next for the industry. The takeaway? AI has officially changed the game for deal disposition - and that’s only the beginning. TakeawaysHere’s what every serious wholesaler needs to know: We’re Now in a Post-Buyers List World One of the most impactful statements from the episode came from Robert himself:“You don’t need a buyer list anymore.”For years, wholesaling education centered around the idea that you must build a massive buyers list before doing deals. That approach is officially obsolete.Thanks to Investorlift’s AI matching system - trained on billions of buyer behavior dat

In today’s ultra-competitive real estate market, having the right data isn't just an advantage - it's a necessity. At Investorlift, we're on a mission to help real estate investors sell off-market deals faster and at higher prices. One key way we do that is by leveraging high-quality, enriched data. And that’s exactly why we chose to partner with BatchData. Why All Real Estate Data Isn’t Created Equal It’s a common misconception that real estate data is a commodity - that everyone is pulling the same information from the same tax records. But in reality, the difference lies in what happens after the data is pulled. Many aggregators in the industry simply provide raw, unfiltered data. That might be fine for basic use cases, but it doesn't cut it when you're trying to move high volumes of off-market deals.BatchData stands out because they don't just aggregate data - they enrich and clean it. That means our

Hi community! The real estate market hasn’t slowed down on surprises and the past few weeks brought some big shifts worth talking about.From cooling home prices and dipping mortgage rates, to sellers pulling listings, to an unexpected surge in rural and off-grid demand, these trends could directly impact how wholesalers source deals and how buyers shape their portfolios. Let’s break it down 👇 1. Regional Split in U.S. Housing Prices Zillow’s latest report (Aug 26, 2025) shows U.S. home values are up just 0.2% year-over-year, but that average hides a sharp divide. Cities like Cleveland (+4.7%), Hartford (+4.5%), and Detroit (+3.8%) are gaining momentum, while Tampa (-6.2%), Austin (-6.0%), and Miami (-4.6%) are losing steam. 👉 What’s driving it? Affordability. Midwest and Northeast markets still offer relatively low prices compared to wages,

Hey community!The market keeps shifting fast -  and if you’re wholesaling or buying, these trends could shape what kinds of deals make sense in 2025. Here are three that stood out 👇 📈 Who’s Really Driving Rental Growth? Rental households grew by 848,000 in the past year, outpacing homeowner growth nearly 3x (1.9% vs. 0.6%) according to U.S. Census data (Q2 2024).That screams one thing: demand for rentals is surging. Why it matters: Wholesalers: This is your dispo angle. Pitch deals as strong rental holds with cash flow upside. Buyers: More tenants = bigger pool, stronger rents, and safer buy-and-hold plays.  👉 Wholesalers - are you pitching deals more on rental cash flow potential?👉 Buyers - are you leaning heavier into buy-and-hold plays righ

Hi community!In the fast-evolving world of real estate investing, information is power. And right now, access to that information is shifting. With more brokerages like Compass pushing "exclusive inventory" strategies and AI-driven deal networks gaining traction, the concept of transparency in real estate is under pressure.This trend is particularly important for us in the Investorlift community. As wholesalers and investors, our edge has long been rooted in discovering, controlling, and distributing off-market opportunities. But is that edge getting sharper or being dulled by the very market forces we once exploited? The Rise of Exclusivity For years, wholesalers have dominated off-market territory. We scout distressed properties, negotiate directly with sellers, and deliver investor-ready deals before they ever hit the MLS. That insider access is what fuels fast profits.Now, major brokerages and institutional buyers are follo
