Especially when dealing w/ a lender, certainty of execution and program flexibility matters the most in my opinion.If you've ever waited weeks to hear "this won't work" on a DSCR deal, you know the cost of misalignment.When you start closing at volume and are trying to scale your portfolio: predictability, early clarity, and execution matters over everything else.Working with a lender who may be slightly higher on rate on edge case scenarios, but has predictable execution and a quick closing timeline will always outperform the lender who comes in a little cheaper but has a nightmare closing process.If you ever want to discuss deal metrics, always happy to help!

This is not just understanding the steps involved, it is more about how you eliminate as much risk/problems as possible; how do you identify issues quickly; how to you solve issues faster and with the least amount of costs.Books, podcasts, and forums will teach you: The mechanics The terminology The “ideal scenario”They will not teach you: When not to buy a deal How to navigate lender pressure How to manage capital calls How to communicate when things don’t go as plannedBe cautious with mentorship programs that promise speed & act like this is an easy business.We do coach, but our approach is much different than most gurus.3.
