If I can buy 2 or 3 for a few years, I should be able to multiply faster.

Quote from @Naqi Taylor: For those actively syndicating or allocating into stabilized commercial assets — how much weight do you put on NOI durability versus headline upside?

How are you weighting 'Structural Friction' against the risk of neighborhood transience?

I'm not weighting rent affordability against transience.

If a process feels annoying at 5 units, it becomes dangerous at 25.The biggest shift for me was realizing that scaling isn’t about adding units faster, it’s about reducing decision load per unit.

With markets feeling more segmented lately, I’ve been rethinking how I anchor ARV during early deal analysis.Instead of relying on a single comp or peak-sale comparison, I’ve been leaning toward:• ARV ranges (low / mid / high) rather than one number• Heavier weighting on the most recent 60–90 day sales• Noting spread between list vs. sold prices in the same pocket• Treating appreciation as a bonus, not a givenI’m finding that even within the same zip code, buyer demand and pricing tolerance can shift block by block depending on condition, financing availability, and buyer profile.Curious how others are handling market data right now:Are you tightening ARV assumptions, using wider ranges, or changing how you comp altogether?

Do you find those micro-location adjustments becoming more noticeable in faster-moving markets?

Quote from @Michael Santeusanio: Do you think experience carries more weight than numbers when securing capital?

At 18 I found Dave Ramsey so was always anti consumer debt, it's a burden and a weight. 

Why pay a premium if they aren't holding their weight.
