“As with any real estate investment, the market conditions 12 months later remain unknown. However, there should be enough data that provides trending sales prices, supply, and demand to assist in making any decision prior to investing.”
In addition to the fix-and-flip space, Kaufman said there is also interest in helping the multifamily sector. And there are signs of life in homebuilder sentiment. The recently released National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) showed that builder confidence in newly constructed single-family homes increased by one point.
While most measures of that index were below average, the component for expected sales rose by one point to 52, which is two points above neutral and reflected guarded optimism among builders.

The hope is that, across fix-and-flip, single-family construction, and multifamily construction, conditions will start to improve and help increase housing inventory. Kaufman said her company will do what it can to support both the RTL and multifamily space.
“While we are strongly committed to providing capital for the fix-and-flip investor, Bayport Funding is expanding our support in providing capital to the entire multifamily sector,” she said. “It is imperative to add housing density, specifically for workforce housing and affordable housing.”
