Poor CommunicationWhether it’s ghosting tenants or not responding to ownership questions, silence kills trust.

@Joe Villeneuve Lol I could see that being an extremely frustrating situation on both ends and just end up killing your reputation before you even start.

I sure hope none of them are underage drinkers who later crash and kill someone. 

@Travis Rasmussen - I have ZERO knowledge, insight or facts to know if this is true or NOT - so don't kill the messenger please :) ...

Solid post 👌 Vacancy kills cashflow faster than just about anything, and it’s usually preventable with the right systems.I’ve found two things really move the needle in my own portfolio:Pre-marketing before the unit is even vacant.

However, that is just for the majority of my local market of Charlotte, NC; I am sure condo investors make a killing in parts of Florida!

Great question — I see investors wrestling with all three, but the toughest one usually depends on where you’re at in the cycle: Loan Structure: Right now, DSCR and covenants are killing some deals.

Under 30 Days = Possible, but ToughWe’ve closed deals with less than three weeks left, but everything had to line up:Seller already had docs readyNo major title issuesCash or private money funding ready to goOtherwise, the clock kills deals fast—especially if banks aren’t quick to respond.3.

Believe it or not, I’m killing it with Ybor City in Tampa right now—historic charm, walkability, events, and year-round tourism keep it booked.

HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)Pros:Flexible—you only pay interest on what you draw.Fast access to capital for deals as they come up.Cons:Variable interest rates can jump on you, which kills long-term predictability.As investors, we want constants in our portfolio, and HELOCs create one more moving piece that can eat into margins if rates rise.Banks can reduce or freeze HELOCs in certain market conditions.3.
