@Monica C.I've invested in a little more than 10 separate syndications with about as many different leads.The one thing I appreciate the most is those asset manager who are willing to send out monthly charts of actual vs pro-forma income and expenses.That's not to say that they are always within budget, because they usually aren't, but they at least show a level of honesty and accountability as well as showing progress.I'm invested in some deals that publish very few KPIs if any at all.

If the IRS actually looks at a DIY cost seg they'll immediately throw it out without any further review.

While it may seem like a simple concept, it's actually a very complex process that requires significant documentation as well as specific methodologies.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

STRs are a double edged sword, and while I understand the concern about affordable housing, it's actually the tax dollars from the STRs that fund the affordable housing communities on our island.

If you a cool ski chalet outside of Tahoe, a lake cabin in Montana, a beach place in Galveston and maybe a place in Orlando, how often would you actually go to those places?

I guessed Cleveland before you even finished your question.

Once about 10 years ago our tenant did not install their unit correctly and the water condensation was dripping into the house and actually caused part of the ceiling to collapse.  

You want to do that more than the actual deal.

I actually started flipping properties and then transitioned to wholesaling because it was the best-suited model for scalability for me.
