A challenge we’re all facing is balancing profitability with the higher cost of borrowing.What type of loan programs are you offering right now, and how flexible are you with structuring deals that involve short-term flips or long-term buy-and-hold strategies?

This one didn't require anything outside our wheelhouse, ie. structural.

We both have made compromises along the way.I think that’s completely right and one of the reasons you hear the horror stories about these things going sideways (there’s no established timeline for exit), it literally just goes until something breaks. figuring out the ownership structure, and thus the use/access, as well as the exit feels like the two biggest items to get extreme clarity around. 

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

Im in the Indianapolis market and I have some land I would like to put up a structure on.Can someone point me in the right direction to start learning how best to tackle this first one and subsequent ones.I appreciate any help you can provide.

This depends on your agreement and whether you are hypothecating the note (meaning you own the note and are borrowing against it) or doing a partial where you are selling that portion of the note and issue a collateral assignment.When i did partials I did it as a hypothecation where I kept control of the note because those who typically buy a partial are not savvy note investors and if it went into default the first call they would make would be to you.I know some who let the buyer own it and they would be calling the servicer every week asking about payment or emailing the etc. then if it did not show up they would be calling them.How you structure it is up to you, just realize there are pros and cons for both

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

As an owner builder, I built 3 ADUs and 1 JADU (subbed out the structure build and I did all the finish work).

Hey Rashim, I've worked with a bunch of Canadian investors that purchase in Detroit.The key is to set up your entity structure so you don't get hit with double taxation.
