If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

If a deal only works because you’re stretching timelines, leverage, or assumptions, that’s usually worth slowing down and re-checking, if you ask me.Curious how you’re thinking about stress-testing the refi and cash flow on the next one.

You can often snag multiple units for the price of one in DC, leading to much stronger monthly cash flow, though you'll typically see slower appreciation and higher taxes.

Or you could reinvest in multiple smaller properties.

When multiple cornerstone employers start tightening at the same time, it’s usually less about any single company and more about the system adjusting.And this morning added more confirmation.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, and thank you for such a clear, well-structured introduction.You’re navigating a situation many investors encounter later in their journey: strong equity, complex property condition, and multiple strategic paths.A few framing thoughts that may help:When a property needs heavy rehab, the central question is rarely “flip or hold.”It’s whether the numbers remain stable under conservative assumptions.Renovations almost always expand beyond initial estimates - not because contractors are unreliable, but because older properties tend to reveal hidden layers once work begins.Running scenarios with wider rehab buffers, longer timelines, and softer exit values can help you quickly see whether the opportunity is resilient or fragile.On the hold vs sell discussion:Adjacent properties can create real long-term advantages - operational efficiency, simplified management, and future optionality.

One thing I’m trying to think through early is how others manage the capital gap between finishing a build-for-sale and starting the next one.For those doing multiple projects, what creative financing or short-term capital solutions have worked best for you before sale proceeds hit? 

Government — 307,000• UPS — 78,000• Amazon — 30,000• Intel — 25,000• Nissan — 20,000• Nestlé — 16,000• Microsoft — 22,000 (across multiple rounds)• Bosch — 13,000• Verizon — 13,000• Dell — 12,000• Accenture — 11,000• Ford — 11,000• Novo Nordisk — 9,000• PwC — 5,600• Salesforce — 4,000• IBM — 2,700• American Airlines — 2,700• Paramount — 2,000• Target — 1,800• General Motors — 1,500• Applied Materials — 1,444• Kroger — 1,000• Meta — 1,000These are not speculative startups or poorly run companies.

Don't spread thin across multiple states until you nail the process in one.

And it does not even have to be your own fault: repositioning a MF is not easy, renovation cost can explode in an unexpected way, contractors stand you up and run with your down payment leaving you with unrentable units, negative cash flow, leading to NOI loss, now you are bleeding cash and the property value does not support the loan anymore...Start with a few 1-4 family units, build a portfolio, there is a lot for you to learn in multiple categories.
