If you’re actively investing or scaling, drop your market and let’s make moves.

A reserve is unnecessary, but I still keep around $15,000 - $20,000 in my account.The point is, that you should sit down and assess your finances to determine what the worst-case scenario may look like, how much you would need to cover it without impacting your life, and whether you will need to build a reserve.

For your existing vacancies - there are no proactive measures - simply active or passive measures you can take.

Hi @Katie Lyon,Properties are typically still selling in Cape Coral right now to active buyers, even with elevated inventory.

I work with investors in Chicago who are actively buying off-market properties, and Ive noticed that everyone has a different approach when it comes to sourcing deals.

Learn about the Net Operating Income (NOI) and Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate)—these are essential to analyzing the potential profitability of a property.Return on Investment (ROI): There are different ways to calculate ROI in real estate, such as looking at your total return after a sale or assessing your rental income versus initial investment.

Some special assessments are already board-approved for 2025 and 2026 to help raise capital for such items, however I know when the time comes there will be a loan which likely demands a higher monthly payment for owners -- reducing my cashflow. - Based on sale of other units in the complex, I believe my current equity to be roughly $160,000, a little more than 50% equity. - The condo is currently leased through April 30, 2025. - August 2025 will be 3 years since I moved out.
