“Say it ain’t so.”

-Weezer*

*Rob’s Note: Blue Album is the best Weezer Album

While I’ve been an agent and investor, I’ve noticed some recurring issues my clients and I tend to have. I am hoping to address some of these here so perhaps in the future you don’t have the same problems.

  • Make sure your operating agreement with partners discerns the roles each member has within the company

  • Ensure a clear path for dissolving the company is specified in the operating agreement

  • Verify that your renters purchase renters' insurance!

  • Insure vacant properties -- life happens!

  • Update comps monthly throughout your BRRRR projects to see where the market is trending and adjust your spending as needed

  • Target local and midsize banks for your projects before going to larger banks

  • With higher interest rates, take on less projects than your typical bandwidth and speed up current projects

  • Interest is rot

  • Inventory is low. If things are sitting, spam out LOIs on properties that have been sitting

  • Offer a lower cash/hard money/financed offer and a seller financed offer, worst thing they can do is say no

  • Why not get paid for your practice? Shoot your shot at a number that makes sense for you!

  • Good time to try to get lines of credit on your properties with equity

  • This will insulate your risk and help set you up to take advantage of what the market offers
