Price range, area, condition, SFR/lot/teardown — whatever you’re focused on.Always interested in understanding what different investors are looking for in this market.

Flippers and builders — are you seeing more investors moving toward ground-up construction instead of traditional rehabs?

Something I see often when talking with investors:
Most compare interest rates… but forget to compare speed.
A slightly lower rate doesn’t help much if it means you lose the deal to someone who can close in 10 days....

Everyone talks about the excitement of the refinance — pulling cash out, locking in new terms, and getting ready to repeat the process.But here’s what I’ve seen a lot of investors forget:What happens after the refi matters just as much as before it.Once you refinance, your numbers change — your basis, your loan interest, and your depreciation schedule.Most people never revisit their books or update their records after closing, and it slowly creates a mess.You’d be surprised how often investors forget to:Recalculate depreciation based on new cost basisAdjust their loan amortization and interest deductionsTrack how much cash was actually pulled out vs. reinvestedThose little details might not seem important now, but they can cause major confusion (and extra taxes) down the line — especially when you go to sell or refinance again.The BRRRR method works beautifully if your backend systems stay clean.So when the refi funds hit, take a breather, update your records, and make sure your financials tell the full story.That’s how you stay scalable, organized, and audit-proof.Curious — how do you stay on top of your numbers after the refinance?

It’s funny — we spend so much time hunting for deals, analyzing cap rates, and negotiating offers…but the part that actually determines how much wealth we keep often gets ignored.I’m talking about the business side of investing — how you manage your numbers, track your expenses, and plan for taxes before tax season hits.I’ve worked with investors who made six figures flipping or holding rentals — and still ended up frustrated because their cash flow disappeared into poor bookkeeping, messy structures, or missed deductions.The ones who grow fastest?

The next step is to find an investor friendly agent so you can see houses.in the interim, go to local meetups, network often, and learn how to underwrite deals.
