Trevor Brouelette House Hacking brings worse cash flow ?!?!?!?!?
22 November 2025 | 11 replies
If you DO want them to be an equity partner, you must “replace” the missing rent.If you structure as equity (profit share), then yes, you can’t just delete one unit’s income and expect the investor to take that haircut.Two clean solutions:Option A: Pay a “house hack offset” each month.You basically pay the partnership the amount that unit would have rented for.Example:Unit would rent for $1,500You pay $1,500/mo into the deal→ Keeps the underwriting true→ Investor gets the same return as if it were fully rented→ You still get the benefit of living where you investOption B: Give the investor a larger equity share.If you don’t want to make monthly payments, you can give them:60/40 instead of 50/50Or preferred returns with catch-upsYou’re “paying” for your living benefit through equity instead of cash.3.

Quote from @Erik Estrada: Quote from @Jason Wray: Erik,I am not sure and would never talk in a bad way about any business unless I used them but in the last 8 months I have had several customers reach out to fix what they could not accomplish on really basic overlay issues.I have been seeing a lot of these other AI type LOS type companies drop the ball during the electronic Approve U style 1003/1008 deals that lack typical DU/LP findings.Back in the day we would target this type of company data to reach out and either help on the 6-12 month refinance or the aged leads.

Satya Surendra Property Management - what value are they adding
24 November 2025 | 13 replies
.- I received a quote of $800 per room for basic touch-up painting in a 1,200 sq ft property—very high, and I have no alternatives since it’s out of state.- They charge extra for handling evictions.- One PM deducts $800 from the security deposit at move-out as part of their “policy,” which isn’t tenant-friendly or transparent.To be clear, I’m not saying PMs don’t add value—especially when I don’t want direct contact with tenants.
Jason Bobby Baselane Vs Stessa….
24 November 2025 | 9 replies
I opened it back up today and saw their answer to my question, they just said I could add a credit. 1. that does not solve the problem of it automatically adding inaccurate information, it should instead prompt me to do a security deposit return - so I can add any charges, this seems like basic functionality for a program that is specifically designed for rentals.2. now I can't find the transaction again and can't remember where I found it in the first place (though I do remember it was in a weird place).
Kwame Koom-Dadzie Airbnb Same day modification Requests
23 November 2025 | 10 replies
Same-day modification requests basically function like a cancellation, and moving the reservation would wipe out tonight’s payout with almost no chance of rebooking.In situations like this, I usually advise guests to cancel the current reservation and rebook for their new dates so that the original cancellation policy still applies and the system stays clean.
