LA Homebuyers Turn to Rentals to Pay the Mortgage
A Hollywood couple seeking a quieter home in the San Fernando Valley pursues a plan to offset costs with rental income by adding an ADU; leveraging renovation loans (FHA 203k and HomeStyle Renovation) to wrap renovation costs into the mortgage, they evaluated three LA-area properties with ADU or multi-unit potential (Highland Park three-unit hillside home, Van Nuys corner lot with an ADU, and a Reseda cottage with space for an ADU) with projected rents around $3,200–$3,500 per month.

Billionaire investor Justin Ishbia is nearing a deal to buy Amtrak's 47-acre rail yard in the South Loop, across from The 78, fueling speculation it could become part of a White Sox stadium development or other district; Northwestern Medicine is in early talks to anchor a healthcare facility there, while Amtrak would need to relocate and financing for a project potentially over $1 billion would take years.
FHFA Rule Tweaks Target Lower Home Insurance Costs for Buyers and Condos
The FHFA is updating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rules to lower homeowners’ insurance bills by allowing Actual Cash Value (ACV) roof coverage on single-family homes and condos, simplifying the maximum per-unit deductible, and scrapping a 2024 clarification. The changes are aimed at making mortgages more affordable—especially for condo owners and rural buyers—while preserving full replacement-cost protection for the rest of the home.
Renters Benefit as National Median Rents Slide to Four-Year Low in Feb 2026
February 2026 saw the national median asking rent for 0–2 bedroom units fall to $1,667, a 1.7% year-over-year decline—the 30th straight YoY drop and a four-year low. Rents declined across all sizes (studio $1,393; 1‑bed $1,548; 2‑bed $1,844). Fifteen of the 50 largest metros are at least 10% below their peaks, led by Austin (-18.2%), Birmingham (-17.1%), and Memphis (-16.1%), while five markets—Virginia Beach, Kansas City, Baltimore, San Jose, and Richmond—are within 3% of peak, signaling a possible rebound. Despite soft footing, rents remain about 14.2% above pre-pandemic levels, and spring leasing season is expected to bring modest month-over-month increases. Data are from Realtor.com’s February 2026 report, which also notes varying relief across markets and continued relief concentrated in certain areas amid a supply-demand balance.
Hidden Costs Push Homeownership Beyond the Mortgage
Homeowners across the U.S. are feeling a jump in non-mortgage costs—homeowners’ insurance, property taxes, and HOA fees—that can dwarf monthly payments. Insurance rates have spiked due to higher repair costs and climate disasters, taxes have climbed with rising home values, and HOAs are more common and costly, pushing total housing costs higher even as mortgage rates ease and homeowners build equity.
