Thieves will skip over yours and look for an easier target.

It’s crucial for me to achieve a favorable appraisal, as my estimates place me comfortably below 80% loan-to-value.

Think about your target strategies, like short-term or long-term rentals, and whether you're looking for financing options to expand your portfolio.

Hi Alex, welcome to the community and the San Diego region.How do you plan on targeting your leads?

But, if a cost-seg study is done on the old property, you can manage Sec. 1245 recapture tax by doing a study on the new property to confirm it has as much or more Sec. 1245 property.You cannot swap a fully depreciated gas station for a raw piece of land and avoid recapture - you must replace all the 1245 and 1250 property.3) OZ - Sure you can defer your capital gains for a few years into an OZ fund, but the magic of OZ investments is the ability to achieve tax-exempt growth after a 10-year holding period.

Instead, target sellers who have an actual problem, sincerely engage them to learn the specifics, and then solve their problem (and ideally get paid)!

My assumption has been DSCR is the main driver, coming from my institutional experience (larger deals) we usually target a 1.2 and over DSCR.

One of the easiest ways is checking off market Facebook groups in your target market where a lot of deals are posted daily.

The target rate I often see on syndication sites is around 15-18% IRR (and sometimes higher for new development projects).

And, especially if your goal is to build a portfolio to live off of, bad deals (and even marginal deals), will keep you from achieving that goal much more than slowing down and waiting for better deals to surface.But beyond that, I also find I get most burnt out when I am invested in deals emotionally and with time.
