It's painful to see a house that was renovated and rented, to then be torn up by jackhammering through the slab in multiple places so that the sewer lines could be replaced.

But I actually wonder if these programs go away, after the initial pain, the long term result is likely to be positive - a great increase in the number of 2-parent households.

Quote from @Yuanmo Lei: Hey everyone — I’m a techie and small investor designing a tool to make deal analysis less painful for people like us.I’d love to learn from you:- How do you currently find and analyze your properties?

One of my biggest pain-points starting out in New Construction that I sought up people to teach me the process... and like you, I was willing to volunteer my time.

Quote from @Bobby Andrews: @Erik Estrada Still working on it - it's been painfully slow.

Hey @Jaycee GreeneI'm not looking to become a lender :) However, my background is in software (startups and big tech like Google, etc) so I'm interested in learning how specific pain points that I've encountered as a borrower could be solved and that requires a bit of diving deep on both lender and borrower sides!

Biggest pain right now is realistic deals; seller expectations are still lagging while labor and holding costs bite.

The key differentiator is that these models would be constantly updated for things like:Changing mortgage rate formulas and lending rules.New tax laws and depreciation rules.Integration with current data sources for things like rental comps or maintenance costs (where possible).New model types based on emerging strategies.The goal is to save you the hours of building and, more importantly, maintaining your own spreadsheets.I'd be incredibly grateful if you could help me with any of these questions:The Pain Point: Does manually updating your analysis spreadsheets for rule changes feel like a chore?

That pain still hurts!

Something painful and ugly, even it’s still too distant to see clearly now.Whenever and whatever the next crisis is, I want to survive it with my wealth intact.For anyone wondering how to protect themselves, here's a few strategies:• Diversify across asset types and even geographies• Keep some liquidity and “hard” assets like cash reserves or metals• Invest in assets with real-world utility (housing, farmland, essential services)•Use fixed-rate debt wisely—it can be your friend during inflation• Build legal and tax protection through smart entity structures• Keep learning and growing your network!!!
