They don't benefit from that at all.

He digs in to all of the different ways people can make money in real estate- he has 10 different options that he talks about, and to be honest, cash flow is really the one that will often give you the least benefit in the long run. 

It’s definitely a balancing act — owners want to protect their investment, but holding too tightly to outdated assumptions (like 2021 rent levels or tenant demand) can end up costing more in the long run.I’ve found the best approach is setting clear expectations upfront with a manager: define thresholds where the manager can act without approval (like minor repairs or small rent adjustments) and bigger decisions that require owner sign-off.

This property may not qualify for tax benefits.

-If I accidentally missed the date on my credit card payments, I would pay huge interest on the money, negating the benefits.

I still use the 70% rule as a starting point, but I adjust based on neighborhood demand and current rehab costs.

On the investment side, deals are still happening, but margins feel tighter, especially with rising holding costs (permits/utilities, etc.).I’m curious how others are adjusting, whether you're flipping, holding, or mid-BRRRR.

That 5.625% rate — even with the small adjustment fee — saves you way more in monthly cash flow than the 6.25% option.

A lot of people moving to Texas and a lot of investors buying preferably turnkey properties for the tax benefits. 

@Manish Champsee, When you did the cost seg you changed the adjusted cost basis of that property dramatically.
