But instead of reacting emotionally, you worked through the issues and stayed focused on solutions. 

I can put real, actionable paths in front of you fast, so you’re not stuck reacting, guessing, or waiting around.

Vague contracts are how bad deals become lawsuits.What started as a $30,000 loss turned into a $269,000 appraisal — and a monthly cash-flowing asset.That’s the difference between reacting like a landlord and operating like an investor.

The key is shifting from reacting month-to-month to having a clear plan for how the property supports, rather than stresses, your finances.

Here’s our current reality: We’re not physically in the US, so we can’t personally oversee renovations or react instantly on-siteWe don’t qualify for conventional financing and rely on hard money lenders (around $13K all-in per deal, including interest + origination)We’re not present in REIA meetups or local investor communities, where wholesalers, contractors, and key operators naturally connectBecause we’re remote, we can’t confidently “self-manage” or optimize rehab costs the way a local investor can  Because of this, we feel we need larger spreads to justify a flip.

If you’re a real estate investor or small business owner, here’s one habit that makes a bigger difference than people expect:Do your books monthly.Not at tax time.Not “when things slow down.”Monthly.When your books are up to date, you actually know:What each property is making or losingWhether assets are being tracked correctlyIf your strategy is working before the year endsMost importantly, monthly books give you the ability to tax plan during the year, not react after it’s over.I’ve seen investors with great portfolios feel unsure about their numbers simply because they’re always looking backward.Clean, current books create clarity — and clarity creates better decisions.Curious — how often do you actually review your numbers?
