Jacob Hoying Validating an idea: Pre-built, updated financial models for investors?
3 November 2025 | 0 replies
I’m not selling anything, and this isn't a launch—I'm just trying to learn and build something that actually solves real problems.The idea is to create a library of pre-built, professional-grade financial models (for rental properties, flips, BRRRR, etc.) that you can instantly use.
Brandon Kunasek Case Study: 10-Unit Myrtle Beach STR Multifamily — 9% Cap, $92K/yr Modeled Cash Flow
7 November 2025 | 2 replies
Great points, Jeff — and you’re right to highlight that the expense ratios are unusually efficient for a coastal STR.A couple of clarifications on the numbers:The current owner self-manages, which keeps cleaning and maintenance costs lower than a third-party STR manager would typically charge.Some of the repairs and CapEx were front-loaded in prior years (new flooring, appliances, and paint), so last year’s P&L reflects more of a stabilized-operations scenario.The utilities figure is accurate — it’s higher due to being master-metered for the property — but the other OPEX categories are slightly understated if you were to underwrite this as a fully managed, third-party operation.If I modeled it using a professional management assumption plus normalized reserves, the operating ratio trends closer to 48–50%, which aligns with what you mentioned for coastal STR multifamily.I appreciate you calling that out — it’s a great reminder of how much variance there can be between owner-operated and institutional-style expense reporting, especially in hybrid STR assets like this.Here's the owner's profit and loss statement for the exacts of the 2024 year.

In short: $558k gross, ~9% cap, modeled cash-flow of ~$92k/yr with professional management (or ~$140k if self-managed), and conservative 5-yr after-tax proceeds of ~$1.4M.I’m sharing the math, assumptions, depreciation treatment, and the risks/opportunities I saw (value-add ideas, occupancy sensitivity, and market comps).

Lakita Woodson Understanding Reasonable Accommodations and Reasonable Modifications
3 November 2025 | 2 replies
These changes don’t involve physical alterations to the property but instead adjust how housing services or policies are administered.Examples of Reasonable Accommodations:Allowing a service animal or emotional support animal in a “no pets” community.Providing a reserved parking space closer to the resident’s unit for someone with mobility limitations.Permitting rent payment by mail or online for a resident who has trouble visiting the office.Extending rental deadlines temporarily due to hospitalization or disability-related delays.Landlord Responsibility:Landlords must approve reasonable requests that do not create an undue financial or administrative burden.Requests should be handled promptly and confidentially.You may request verification of the disability or need for the accommodation (especially if it’s not obvious), but you cannot ask about the details of the disability itself.Tenant Responsibility:The tenant must make the request (verbally or in writing) and explain how the accommodation relates to their disability.The tenant must continue to follow all lease terms unrelated to the accommodation.What Is a Reasonable Modification?
