They come from stacking small assumptions that don’t get pressure-tested early, when changing course is still cheap.Curious how others here think about that moment — not when a deal is broken, but when it quietly becomes hard to walk away.

For new construction, C-PACE can typically provide between 10% and 30% of the capital stack.

One thing I would add from working with investor operators is that tools matter far less than sequencing and clarity.I see people stack CRMs, dialers, skip tracing, and automation before they are clear on who they are targeting, what stage that lead is in, and what the next logical action actually is.

They have these high-yield assets in South Africa, but they feel 10,000 miles away from the reality of their property’s health.I decided to stop looking at property management as a 'hospitality' business and started looking at it as a Systems business.I’ve been building out a stack using Monday.com for live stakeholder reporting and PriceLabs for hyper-local dynamic pricing.

Things like plaster walls, hundred year old vent stacks, knob into wiring, etc.

HELOC rate is higher, but it’s only on part of the stack, so blended cost still comes out lower.End goal: more cash out, better rates overall.

The second thing would be to further automate this flow by creating an automation stack.

Most of the slowdown isn't big projects, it's small repetitive tasks that stack up. 

Conservative underwriting, reserves per property, and boring consistency beat aggressive stacking every time.

I'm trying to stack cash while I analyze deals and wait for the right one to come along.
