Investors- What Does Value Look Like for You?

[Dustin Verley]

Looking to get some feedback from all of the investors out there.

I want you to really think outside of the box to the question I'm about to pose. Please- no "deals with better margins" or anything of the like as, I think we could all agree, this is the most basic of values.

So what do I mean: Think what would save you time, help increase the efficiency in your business, help increase the efficiency in your fix and flips or anything of that nature. What would truly add value to your bottom line that isn't monetary?

1. An established network I can tap for deal referrals.

2. Brand and reputation for quality and delivering on my commitments.

3. Contractors and team members who understand my expectations and are in synch with my way of operating.

4. Systems for tracking performance (e.g. rent collections, loss to lease, vacancy, expenses and repairs, etc.), identifying trends and making timely responses.

5. An established and documented due diligence process to make sure I don't miss anything on the front end that will prove costly.

6. Detailed project management with timelines, responsible party assignments, and identified task-to-task dependencies.

7. Consolidated business forecasting (i.e. roll-up) and cash flow management.

8. Financing optimization and versatility (traditional, hard money, line of credit, private capital).

9. Tax planning.
