Why We Prioritize Yield on Cost Over Cap Rates in Real Estate DevelopmentWhen I sit down with brokers, the question I hear most often is predictable yet revealing:“What metrics do you use to evaluate a development deal?”

Quote from @Barbara Johannsen: I’ve been spending a lot of time focusing on the note investing side — both performing and non-performing — and I’m curious how others here are sourcing deals right now.

@Joshua Garcia, this is a tough spot—and unfortunately, one many out-of-state landlords run into.Here’s how I’d approach it:Start with the Agreement – Most property management agreements in Texas (including ours) include a spending limit clause, typically requiring owner approval for non-emergency repairs over a set amount (e.g., $400).

The #1 reason so many of us detest the "Guru's" is not for being a Guru, it's because so many are over selling, over charging, and under delivering.

Is it worth spending more (10-15 cents per record) on a high-end service vs. more affordable options like DealMachine with its unlimited skiptracing?

Agreed here, once the world cup is over what do you do?

All-cash only risks lower returns over longer time.  

So you spend money for zero return that might diminish the value of your property.
