Feel free to DM if you'd like to dive deeper..

Some properties require deeper reserves.

If it passes those, then it’s worth the deeper comps/rehab/exit work.

Of course, you need to track carefully incase the the IRS takes a deeper look. 

It's not just about waiting for prices to drop -- lumber, appliances, and steel are part of the problem, but labor filling the void is the bigger one.The 0k MAO adjustment makes sense for a lot of markets, but I'd push deeper.

The deeper due diligence you mentioned is also something I’m trying to learn more about so I can be prepared before stepping into my first commercial acquisition.Since you work with residential investors making this transition, I’d definitely be interested in hearing any additional advice you have or resources you recommend for someone preparing to move into multifamily or commercial deals.

Having hands-on exposure to that side of the business gives me a strong foundation and a deeper appreciation for the value, challenges, and opportunities within real estate.I’m genuinely eager—probably more than the norm—to learn, connect, and put into action whatever knowledge is available.

Worth a conversation with a QI who handles portfolio-level exchanges, not just single-property stuff.

Apples to Apples - Yes of course the scope has to be the same, but go deeper.
