I think safety signage is fine. 

What kind of safety policies do you have in place?

I’m using my VA benefit and targeting small multifamily where rents can cover most (or all) of the mortgage.When screening deals quickly, I’m currently prioritizing:- 1% rule as initial filter- DSCR ≥ 1.25- 7%+ cap rate (if possible in this market)- Positive cash flow after realistic expensesFor those actively house hacking or investing in Orlando:- Are these thresholds realistic right now?

I'd love some advice on which team members I should prioritize first, how to spot the right contractors, and more specifically how to overcome the "young & new" perception when approaching them? 

Hello Everyone. Recent 2026 threads show private money still in high demand as banks stay cautious, but terms tightening around leverage and underwriting. Investors and lenders are talking more about true cash‑flow co...

Helps you prioritize which ones to chase first instead of spreading yourself thin.

My main focus would be on making money through the property’s appreciation.The seller, who I consider a mentor, advised me not to prioritize high cash flow but to look at generating profit through the property's appreciation.

With tighter margins and shifting rates, are investors prioritizing stronger financing terms over slight price reductions?

I’ve been running different refinance scenarios for stabilized rental properties and noticed something interesting.Many investors focus only on rate reduction, but when you extend term, the “lifetime savings” picture can change significantly depending on:• Remaining amortization• Current balance vs new term• Cash flow impact vs total interest paid• DSCR improvement relative to LTVIn some cases, the refinance improves DSCR and monthly cash flow but doesn’t dramatically change total lifetime interest unless the rate delta is meaningful.I’ve built a model to compare:– Current PITI vs new PITI– DSCR impact– LTV after closing costs– Lifetime cost difference over remaining termCurious how others here are evaluating refinance scenarios.Are you prioritizing:1- Cash flow improvement2- Rate arbitrage3- Equity extraction4- Portfolio stabilizationWould love to hear how others are modeling it.

HOA red flags I usually look for when reviewing deals:Low reserve fundsRecent or pending special assessmentsLitigation involving the associationHigh delinquency ratesHigh investor ownership ratiosOne advantage of condos and townhomes is that renovation scope is usually simpler, since you're mostly dealing with interior work and not roofs, foundations, or exterior structures.The $10K–$20K profit range you're targeting is actually pretty common for these smaller flips, especially when investors are prioritizing faster turn times and lower capital requirements.Curious if anyone here has noticed HOA fees starting to impact resale demand more lately in their markets?
