@Wiley Hood DIY cost segregation tools like KBKG can be cost-effective for simple properties, but they lack the precision and audit defense of professional studies.

Short-term capital is extremely effective when the exit is clearly defined upfront.From a lender’s standpoint, the biggest safeguards I look for are:A realistic timeline (with buffer) for rehab, lease-up, or saleA clearly executable exit (refi, sale, or take-out lender already identified)Conservative leverage, especially on heavier value-add projectsBorrowers who understand holding costs and don’t rely on best-case scenariosWhere investors get into trouble isn’t the cost of short-term capital — it’s when delays stack up and there’s no margin or backup plan.Used properly, short-term funding is a tool to create speed and opportunity.

And something to be aware of is that in some cases, the honest answer is that buyers would need to be paid to take the property because it is effectively worth nothing.Now, assuming the property does have value, this is how we handle it on the disposition side.
