We are looking for the egregious outliers that give our industry a bad name.I want to clarify what HawkAudit actually does, because I think there's a misunderstanding:We're NOT:- Questioning every line item- Using "AI estimates" to lowball contractors- Encouraging clients to nickel-and-dime on legitimate costs- Telling contractors what they should chargeWe ARE:- Identifying duplicate charges (like being billed twice for the same attic debris removal)- Flagging vague line items that could lead to scope disputes later ("touch-up entire unit" - what does that mean?)

Barbara Johannsen How Do You Stress-Test a Note Deal?
26 December 2025 | 6 replies
FDICIn the context of real estate and promissory notes, stress-testing is best viewed as a risk awareness tool:It doesn’t remove risk, but it helps identify what could go wrongIt helps quantify how sensitive the deal is to changes in key assumptionsIt informs whether there are adequate buffers (reserves, conservative pricing, clear legal position) if stress scenarios occurThis perspective is consistent with commonly published guidance on note investing and risk management, which emphasizes both default risk and market fluctuations as primary areas of concern for potential investors. guideforinvestment.com
