Episode notes
Rehab Buys Income, Not Always Value
- Small rehab dollars can meaningfully increase rents without materially boosting market value.
- Prioritize capex that stabilizes income and reduces turnover over chasing appraisal gains.
Compare And Offer Multiple Financing Paths
- Evaluate financing options (DSCR, commercial, seller-finance) and model each to see which yields acceptable cash flow.
- Present multiple financing offers to sellers to increase chances of acceptance.
Pick Amortization To Match Goals
- Shorter amortizations increase monthly payments and reduce cash flow, but save interest long-term.
- Choose amortization based on whether you prioritize monthly cash or total interest paid.
