I’ve been working on a simple underwriting tool for small investors who don’t want to spend an hour in Excel every time they look at a property.Here’s how it works:Drop in the basics (price, rent, expenses, loan terms)In 30 seconds, it spits out NOI, Cap Rate, DSCR, Cash-on-Cash, and a simple traffic-light recommendation (Green / Yellow / Red)You get a clean one-page summary you can actually use to make a quick “go/no-go” callI’m testing it out with real investors now.

This can be a leak underneath a sink, handrails, outlets, replacing light fixtures, etc.

Hi folks, I’m researching various value-add investment models (fix & flips, light rehabs) and want to learn from investors who fund these regularly or those who are looking for projects to back.

The Senate’s procedural vote signaled bipartisan momentum to keep the lights on through January.The shutdown froze key agencies, delaying CPI, PPI, and jobs data.

Focus on mismanaged 6–20 units where you can bump income with leases, utilities, and light turns, not heavy rehabs.

Instead of howling at the dark, @John Clark: why don't you light a lamp for those who are lost? 

For wholesaling, lock up only assignable contracts with clear title paths, escrow earnest money light, and line up your cash buyers by asset class before you market.

Depending on the property, a light-to-moderate renovation, would be $800-$2,500 per unit. 

I’m staying active but stricter: tighten the buy box to durable B/C neighborhoods, underwrite to in-place income first, and only chase value I can control like better management, lease-ups, and light turns.

Just scroll to the bottom of your listing link and you can see 4 places that are quite a bit nicer for under $1500.You are offering small 900sqft with an original kitchen, only ONE bathroom that is dated and has no counter space, an interior that is a mix of finishes and colors, tile ceiling, super basic light fixtures, no garage and a totally overgrown yard - all of that screams total neglect.
