When you’re analyzing a potential investment, what makes you say “this one is worth pursuing”? Is it the purchase price, projected ARV, rehab budget, location, or the exit strategy? There are a lot of moving pieces in a deal, so I’m curious what experienced investors prioritize first. What’s your...
Every car looks good when it's new. Every guitar is shiny hanging on the wall in the store. Every new TV looks spectacular when somebody first plugs it in. I'm much more interested in what happens later. Does the car still start every morning at 100,000 miles? Does the guitar stay in tune, or doe...

A lot of investors focus on the purchase price, rehab budget, and ARV, but holding costs can quietly eat into the profit. Before closing, I think it’s important to account for things like interest, utilities, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and the possibility that the project takes longer than ex...
