I’m planning to test a small batch (~$200 for 5–10 leads) but want real-world feedback first.

To get started test listings on different platforms natively and learn the ins and outs.

Before you wire, verify the full collateral file, chain of title, enforceability, current value, and a clear Plan A/Plan B, then start with a small test buy to prove your workout and servicing process.

Six days of controlled drying (dehumidifiers + airflow) brought readings down below 15%, preventing mold.A few quick lessons from the field:Act within 24–48 hours after a leak or flood.Use moisture meters or hygrometers—don’t rely on sight or touch.Track readings until materials reach normal levels (around 8–15% MC for wood).Keep gutters clear and sump pumps tested before storm season.Anyone else tracking drying data or using instruments after storms?

Lease Option (Test the property before you buy) 8.

Each of you would need to meet the IRS hours tests individually if you want losses to be non-passive.

Keep your buy box tight – focus on light-to-medium rehabs in proven, landlord-friendly markets.Vet your core four early – agent, PM, lender, contractor; test them on small jobs before scaling.Underwrite with conservative numbers – realistic rents, padded expenses, and a contingency fund.Verify everything – contractor bids with photos and line-item scopes; PM approval on rent before closing.Stress-test your exit – ensure refi works at today’s rates and you’re not overlevered.Run your “noise-to-numbers” scan – analyze 20 leads, pick 2 that pencil, and test your team on one light rehab before tackling heavy lifts.

If possible it is awesome to test with a focus group.
