Keep detailed records of repairs, improvements, and rental income, and consider working with a CPA specializing in real estate to ensure you're taking full advantage of deductions and strategies like passive losses, home office deductions, or even the Qualified Business Income deduction if applicable.Good luck!

Quote from @Amol Kulkarni: Any individual PM (not associated with companies) who can handle 3 doors in Jax and Citrus Springs, fL I own a lot of properties in Jax and have a management company.

I’m also based in California and invest in Detroit, where prices are far more reasonable, and there are still strong cash flow opportunities.Detroit has a solid rent-to-price ratio, improving economic fundamentals, and plenty of value-add potential if you have the right team in place.

If there is minor rehab (such as painting and cosmetic improvements) you can still close on a DSCR loan, however it may affect your appraised value, which could also affect your market rent if its a vacant property.

They stopped paying the lender and wanted to work something out with the lender but the time is running out (ie the management company did not do any significant improvement during the forbearance period) One of the LP just emailed me and said we need to raise 65k to enlist help from this company.

From experience, I’d recommend getting pre-approved, improving your debt-to-income ratio if needed, and researching local assistance programs.

I personally spend about 50K a year in masterminds and always get my money back just through network of individuals you get access to.

Better education and training might be one way to improve the situation  Damn, sorry to hear that.

I started my solo-shop last summer and looking for ways to improve!

Since they can't do each property individually, they use comparable sales to make broad generalizations to determine percent changes.
