I’ve been hearing from a lot of investors lately about how renovation costs keep sneaking up — whether it’s materials, labor, or even permit delays. For those actively flipping, this can turn a solid deal into a stres...

The main upside is getting control of a property with little upfront cash or traditional financing.

I would hire a pest control company to seal up any entry points to prevent this from happening. 

Its a win all around - faster service for the tenants, lower prices for the owners, more control for our company.

On one end, you have sponsors who attract institutional capital, family offices, private equity, or high–net-worth investors where the LP's often negotiate stronger terms and maintain greater control. 

A developer partner would be expected to bring:- Predevelopment and construction capital- Lender relationships and guarantees- Entitlement / permitting / SB 79 experience- Day-to-day control of the business planQuestions for developers / capital folks who’ve done something similar:1.

Not all government control is bad.

No rent control of any kind.

Always interesting to see investors perspectives.Some are just control freaks when it comes to their rentals, which is their right.But, it's interesting that many don't also:- do their own auto repairs- fix their appliances- cut their own grass, do weed & feed- have the same approach at work and do everything themselvesALL businesses have growth limitations without delegation of work!

Full guts still work when there’s clear value creation you can quantify upfront, strong PM/GC control, and multiple exits.
