For Those Doing Multiple Projects—How Do You Manage Your Capital Flow?

Question

I’m hearing different strategies for handling overlapping deals.

Do you stagger projects, mix lenders, or structure timing differently?

Would love to see what’s worked for you.

@Melinda Eilts it really depends on your situation.

I know a lot of local people go to many different banks, commercial mortgage brokers & private/HML's in order to keep their deal flows consistently moving & utilizing the BRRRR strategy. Having relationships at multiple banks or lenders can allow you to always have access to money, whether it is guidance lines, pre-approvals, Lines of credit, etc.

I personally like managing 1 deal at a time, but can handle multiple as long as systems are in place for keeping everything separate, staying on top of bookkeeping & ensuring have plenty of funds to complete both projects. Ensuring contractors are good to go is also a big deal too.

Staggering can help, but I'd always try to avoid robbing Peter to pay Paul.

@Melinda Eilts Great question.

My flipping business has managed 5-10 projects at a time, and we track everything post-purchase in QuickBooks Online.
- Classes allow for separate P&Ls for each property.
- Products & Services enable us to track each phase of the rehab.
- Projects give us visibility into our total spend
- My CPA can easily access the tax preparation reports.

In my opinion, mastering bookkeeping and project management is key to getting past one deal at a time.
