May 2025 Real Estate Guides – Your Quick Look at What We Published
May was a busy month on Redos. We covered everything from how to find cheap rent across the US to the nitty‑gritty of a 30‑year‑old house in India. If you’re hunting for a new home, thinking about an investment, or just curious about real‑estate rules, the articles below give you straight‑forward answers.
Why These Topics Matter Right Now
Home prices are still shifting, mortgage rates are hovering, and renters are facing new income checks. That’s why we dug into questions like “Is a 900 credit score realistic?” and “Can a landlord sell the house I’m renting in Virginia?” Our goal was to cut through the jargon and show you what actually affects your wallet.
Investors also asked for clear metrics, so we broke down the cap rate for commercial property and explained the 1% rule in plain terms. And because many of you are considering a move abroad, we added a guide on the cheapest places to live and how to spot affordable cities without sacrificing quality.
