These strategies, when combined with solid due diligence, can help structure deals that might otherwise fall through.

For the investors I work with, I send my flippers to certain neighborhoods (Near east side, Crown Hill, Mapleton Fall Creek) and my LTR investors to other areas (West side, Christian Park, Martindale-Brightwood) -- there are some transitional neighborhoods that work for both (Brookside, Little Flower). 

Are you remodeling b/c you think the tenants are demanding/ deserve nicer places to live or b/c things are falling apart? 

Thank you for this @James Carlson , as has been mentioned it is not allowed to post AI generated content in the forums, it falls under section E of our rules "no impersonations" If you or anyone suspects AI generated content please tag @moderators and we will work to resolve the issue as quick as possible.

We may skip one year if the market is really weak or the tenant is worthy of a reward, but that is rare.Some years and some markets have increased 10% or more in one year, which means you are falling way behind.

Issues like contractor delays, supply shortages, or unforeseen repairs can extend your timeline, which adds to your holding costs (mortgage, utilities, etc.).Tip: Factor in extra time for delays and have a backup plan to stay on track.Over-Renovating: Many new investors fall into the trap of over-improving a property, especially when they try to bring in their own taste.

For instance, we bought/sold 5 flips last year so we have 5 "buckets" each transaction could fall in PLUS our general office expenses (Google ads, Propstream, DealSimple, etc.) 

I just had a deal that I was helping @Monica Pope with here in Clevleand fall apart because it was a triple that was a legal double.

These days climate is a big factor  with Bug kill and forest fires along with Tree huggers and all the political fall out. 

I'm trying to figure out where on the spectrum I fall with risk and leverage
