@Jodi Rhoades, the 30–60 unit deals that pencil usually never hit the market, so I would recommend you pull a list of owners in your target area and call/mail them consistently with a simple “I can close and I’m flexible on terms.”

Absolutely been posted many times.Also you lose your deductions later because you pulled them forward.

Messy is where solutions matter most.Even with rates easing, seller motivation is still very real.

If you’re a real estate investor looking for creative ways to minimize your tax burden while making extra income, the Augusta Rule could be the solution you’ve been seeking.

Not familiar with Ohio but hear similar stories from our clients that pulled out of the market there.

It takes a bit more time, but might be a solution for now.

My focus isn’t creating new data sources, but reducing decision friction.Most brokers/investors I speak with still pull ATTOM, zoning PDFs, city portals, and GIS layers separately, then interpret them manually.

Hit the dated stuff first - cabinet paint + new pulls beats replacement every time.

You aren’t creating deductions you’re simply pulling them forward.
