The days of just finding a deal on the market with double digit cash on cash returns are over assuming you want to stay out of some rough markets.

There's plenty of free deal analysis tools, and some advanced digital tools at a low cost.AI becomes more helpful in this area drafting multiple scenarios to maximize profit, minimize risk, and suggest the best risk/reward strategies.Taking it to the next level, AI takes local and macro market trends to expand on the financial modeling.For multifamily & commercial, there's a lot more that AI can do to model predictions and performance that investors would pay a premium for.

Further, the area appreciated in the high single digits the last two years and is on-trend to do the same for 2025 and 2026. 

Nevertheless, we do have several sources that provide a good inflation measure:-Adobe Digital Price Index - tracks inflation specifically in the digital economy by analyzing online transaction data from Adobe Analytics.

Digitize physical receipts for easy storage and use a consistent naming convention for easy sorting - 2024.03.25 Home Depot.- Maintain proper records, such as contracts, settlement statements, and promissory notes.Additionally, you can track income and expenses consistently using software or spreadsheets.As you scale, if bookkeeping isn't fun, consider hiring a bookkeeper for a couple hundred bucks per month.

Building inbound systems that attract motivated sellers to contact you is critical to long-term success:- Direct mail to targeted lists- PPC / digital marketing to targeted keywords- Content marketing that builds trust (short videos, local proof, education)Then to maximize every lead opportunity:- AI voice agents that instantly answer and pre-qualify every call (so you never miss a deal)- Automated follow-up that nurtures leads until they’re readyHope that helps.
