Quote from @Barbara Johannsen: I’ve been spending a lot of time focusing on the note investing side — both performing and non-performing — and I’m curious how others here are sourcing deals right now.

By tracking actions and property KPIs, you can identify improvement areas and keep everyone working toward shared goals.Prioritizing accountability and team management leads to a high-performing real estate investment business.

Many neighborhoods have been "up and coming" for decades with no major improvement.

→ Are you focusing more on performing or non-performing notes?

Many suggest to have a higher debt-income threshold for them (5x or higher), since they will essentially be financially responsible for two households.Also have them sign a "performance guarantee" and make a deposit. 

👋I’ve been spending time analyzing the current state of the non-performing note (NPL) market and noticing that inventory feels tighter than usual lately.

This is ideal exposure because your listing will be in front of people who already value Airbnb data and performance metrics.

Understanding IRS Section 179 is key to optimizing your tax strategy.179 lets businesses expense certain assets upfront instead of depreciating them over time.For 2025, up to $1.22M of qualified equipment and software can be expensed, but there are limits.The maximum investment threshold is $3.05M, reducing the deduction dollar-for-dollar if exceeded.Additionally, the Section 179 deduction cannot surpass your taxable business income, and some assets, like real property, generally don’t qualify unless specified as "qualified improvement property."

Walk the perimeter and identify what needs improvement, from overgrown shrubs to worn-out pathways.

I would not rely on past performance to dictate future performance, but the same items that resulted in that appreciation exist today including large supply constraints, diverse economy, outstanding climate, etc.
