Pierre Guirguis Why deals that “look good” still fall apart at financing
9 February 2026 | 0 replies
I see a lot of deals stall not because the math is wrong, but because the financing side was never pressure-tested early.A few things that have helped avoid that in practice:Underwrite the deal the way a lender will, not the way you want it to work: If it only pencils at best-case leverage or ARV, that’s a warning sign.Be honest about timing: Lease-up, permits, seasoning, and appraisals almost always take longer than expected.

Khaliq Akande Is it better to build a larger STR or add more bedrooms?
10 February 2026 | 2 replies
High-performing STRs usually balance:Bedroom privacy (not all doors opening into the living room)Bathroom access (guests hate sharing one bath)Usable square footage, not just total square footageThe takeaway isn’t “always add more bedrooms.”It’s design for how guests book, not how buildings look.Before finalizing a build, it’s worth stress-testing the layout against real guest behavior in your target market — not just comps by size.Small design decisions compound revenue far more than most investors expect.
