Not the biggest, but things to look out for..1.

What's been your biggest hurdle getting deals funded lately?

Biggest hurdles are getting sellers to close in that 180 window.  180 days seems like a lot, but it was a close thing for me, and most other complain about exactly the same thing.You keep mentioning DSTs. 

Between rising costs, timelines, and funding delays, fix & flip projects can get tricky.What’s been your biggest challenge lately — finding deals, contractors, or capital?

The market’s shifting and funding terms have changed a lot.What’s been your biggest challenge recently—finding capital, closing timelines, or lender requirements?

I think the biggest challenge for me and my team at the moment is managing & maintaining growth.

Bo, that’s a complex situation — when a trust has no active trustee and the bank steps in as successor, it can really complicate creative-finance structures like subject-to.From what I’ve seen, the biggest hurdle is title and consent: most title companies won’t insure a transfer until the bank legally conveys or forecloses, and the lender typically won’t approve a title transfer that keeps their note in place.Some investors will sometimes use short-term bridge capital (through escrow only) to secure control once title clears — essentially a timing solution rather than a workaround for lender consent.Definitely worth looping in a title company that’s handled estate or trust transfers under distress.

I would even add that valuations have been a pretty big hurdle across the board.

Moving from “analysis” phase to taking action is the biggest hurdle for most new investors!

The two biggest costs investors face are property taxes and insurance.
