Acting quickly helped secure the property before other buyers could step in.

If you're grabbing numbers from public records or lead sources, do a quick check -- recent divorce filings, probate notices, code enforcement issues, out-of-state owners.

Curious what’s working best right now.

For those actively buying notes—are you leaning more toward performing or non-performing right now? I’ve seen solid arguments for both in this market and would love to hear what’s actually working on the ground.

👋Quick question out of curiosity (and to spark a good discussion).In General or in your specific U.S. multifamily commercial real estate market in 2026, what do you think is the most in-demand skill or value that investors are looking for today?

Quote from @Eli Kim: Ok so I know real estate for the most part is not a get rich quick investment.

Hey General REI, first time here.Question: on solid deals right now, are you still able to get private money quick with decent LTVs, or has it gotten tougher?

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?
