Buyers have significantly more negotiating power.

Seeing their success is a powerful motivator—and it’s giving me unique insights into what’s working (and what’s not) in this field.If you’re sleeping on industrial real estate in smaller markets like Rochester, you’re missing out.

@Matt Powers there are endless possibilities and combinations of how you could approach this opportunity.

And diversification is a powerful tool in risk mitigation.  

City water with one main at the street and how will they bill. 

Homes are sitting for about 50 days on average, giving buyers more negotiating power compared to the craziness of the past few years.

Quote from @Bill B.: @Sean Graham isn’t your example paying for another cost segregation, which will cost more than a 1031, just to break even on taxes?

Quote from @Vincent Pflieger: Hey everyone,I’ll keep this short and would love to hear from investors who have successfully leveraged a HELOC to scale their real estate portfolio for both short-term cash flow and long-term wealth building.I’m about to unlock $200-250K in HELOC from my primary residence (a condo in NYC), and I know there’s a powerful strategy I can implement.My current plan:✅ Acquire a 10-15 unit multifamily in a mid-sized market (AL, TN, OH, etc.), targeting a $700-800K deal with value-add potential.✅ Use 20% from my HELOC for the down payment and finance the rest with hard money.✅ Force appreciation over 6 months, then refinance into a DSCR loan to pay off the HELOC.✅ Rinse and repeat!

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.
