  • Buying Occupied Properties: Opportunities, Risks, and Hard-Learned Lessons
    Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about occupied properties — specifically, whether we fundthem and whether we recommend buying them. The short answer: – Do we fund them? Yes. – Do werecommend buying them? Sometimes… and with caution. We’re not just lenders — we do our owndeals, too. Right now, we’re working on three projects we purchased off-market, all of them occupied,and each with its own set of challenges. These deals can work, but they’re not as straightforward aspeople think. The Reality of Buying Occupied PropertiesOccupied properties can be a goldmine — or a headache. Here’s what you … Continued
  • Stage or Not to Stage? Why Staging Your Property Matters
    My Take? Always Stage Your Property. It’s a pretty straightforward answer, but there’s some nuance around how much and what type of staging you should do. I’ve talked to investors who swear by virtual staging — it’s a great option if your budget is tight and you want to showcase the potential of the home without the upfront cost of furniture rentals. I’m definitely a fan of virtual staging in those cases. But if you have the budget and the opportunity, actual staging is always better. There’s something about walking into a well-staged home that helps buyers imagine living there … Continued
  • Why You Should Always Be Conservative with Your ARVs (After Repair Values)
    Today, I want to talk about something that comes up a lot with investors and borrowers: ARVs — After Repair Values. The Old Way vs. The New Reality There was a time when we’d let borrowers have a little “executive privilege” on their ARVs — meaning they could bump up their projected resale values a bit based on comps they liked. But that time is over. With the current market conditions, we are strongly advising everyone to be conservative when estimating ARVs. Why? What’s Happening in the Market? It’s kind of a mixed bag right now: But houses with poor … Continued
  • To Landscape or Not to Landscape? Here’s What We Recommend for Your Flip
    One question I hear a lot lately is: “Should I spend money on landscaping my flip, or not?” Well, my answer is—it depends. Let me break down what we’ve learned from our experience funding and doing flips and new construction projects. Landscaping on New Construction and Higher-End Flips For our new construction projects or higher price point flips, buyers tend to want you to put the majority of the budget into the inside of the home. They’re focused on high-quality finishes, upgraded kitchens, and making the living spaces as attractive and functional as possible. That said, you still need to … Continued
  • Renovation Costs Are Still High: What You Need to Know Before Your Next Flip
    Renovation costs are still very high, and I want to give you some perspective so you don’t get caught off guard. Real Talk on Renovation Costs We recently completed a small flip on the South Shore ourselves. It wasn’t a major overhaul—more of a fluff and buff project. We upgraded the kitchen, renovated the bathrooms, and added a deck. Even though we didn’t go crazy, we still ended up spending $70,000. Now, I also talked to another investor we work with who just finished a full renovation on an 1100 square foot ranch. His costs were about $150,000. This included … Continued
  • Stick to Your Numbers and Stay in Your Lane: A Must-Have Mindset for Real Estate Investors
    Lately, I’ve had a lot of conversations with investors feeling nervous about deal flow — worried about finding enough deals and tempted to stretch their numbers just to keep things moving. So today, I want to drop some advice that I believe can save your business and your sanity: Stick to Your Numbers. Stay in Your Lane. Why Sticking to Your Numbers Matters When deal flow slows down or your pipeline looks lean, it’s natural to get anxious. You might start thinking: Sounds familiar, right?
