The things I didn’t know became obvious and to be honest I hate taxes.  

CPAs love clean books, and hate bookkeeping, so anyone you hire should be thinking in alignment with what your tax preparer will need at the end of the year (otherwise your tax preparer will charge you a premium for the extra work they have to do to decipher your financial statements).

What are you guys seeing for turnover costs per unit in 2026?

@Chris Seveney You mean to tell us a guy from Argos, IN with an incomplete profile, and 3 forum posts doesn't know how to structure a waterfall multi-tiered method for distributing investment proceeds to investors and sponsors, ensuring returns are paid in a specific order based on performance hurdles? 

Hey guys, which digital locks do you all recommend for your short term rentals?

Thanks guys!

I ended up running into another agent who partners with investors and acts as a GC and has a small crew of guys doing the work.

I also have long and heated debates on how credit, buy down, what ever you want to call the "kick back" falsely inflates houe prices and comps as they aren't disclosed or hard to find and unwind to actual value.Short answer is the HML guys know you have less skin in the game and act in accordance.

Why I hate this is lets say you have a borrower who has 30 properties and strategically defaults. you have that personal guarantee you can go after.

Just make sure your contractor is experienced with hard money draws because some guys panic when they don't get paid within 48 hours.What's your total project budget looking like, and is your contractor experienced with hard money deals?
