We call RE operators "investors" fancier title, sounds better, implies more wealth, it's guru originated, the IRS will call you an operator and that carries just as much clout with me as "investor".

The problem was completely operator error on my part and website design on theirs.

Also, the ability to export reports for partners or lenders would be a plus.Essential Data/Analytics: Reliable rent estimates, cap rates, cash-on-cash return, operating expenses (especially maintenance and CapEx), and local market trends like population growth or job market health are key for decision-making

With that said I do know a few hard money lenders who operate on the principle that they have to like you to lend you money, but most  

I just started investing in syndications last year for the first time because I wanted to give up operational control and I had fully vetted the operators based on my network and own interviews.

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.

I would love it to be local (rather than virtual).

This ongoing relationship can be invaluable for investors looking to scale their operations and build a successful real estate portfolio.In conclusion, a good private money broker acts as a vital partner for real estate investors, providing tailored financing solutions, expert guidance, and ongoing support.

My challenge is that the equity is siloed in a high number of properties which complicates our ability to draw against it and leverage that for operational and investment purposes.Do you all know of banks willing to work with investors and able to underwrite at the portfolio level, rather than having to apply for and open HELOCs on a per-property basis?

Now, the owner can vet the operator one time, offload routine maintence to the operator, and receive the rent they've agreed to in the lease, possibly for years to come.
