Passive income starts with active underwriting. Before I get comfortable with a rental’s base case, I run three quick tests: 1. Rent down 5% and vacancy up to 8% 2. Operating expenses up 10%, with management, turnover, and capital reserves included 3. Refinance delayed or unavailable at loan maturity I look at the combined downside too—not just one variable at a time. If a small miss wipes out cash flow or pushes DSCR too close to 1.0, the deal likely needs a lower price, better terms, or more reserves. Which assumption changes your deals the most: rent, expenses, financing, or exit value?

Here are the numbers. 60 units | Homewood, AL A class suburb, low crime, $108 median income, Top School District. Purchase: $4.6M As-Is Appraisal: $5.7M Renovations: $375K Occupancy: ~80% Avg. Rent: ~$1,100 Target Rent: ~$1,300 We're buying $1.1M below the current as-is appraised value. Looks like a home run, right? Maybe. Because a good investor doesn't just ask: “How much can I make?” They ask: “How can I lose?” So pretend it's YOUR $100,000 going into this deal. You get only 3 questions before deciding: 🟢 INVEST 🟡 NEED MORE INFO 🔴 PASS What are your 3 questions? 👇 And here's the twist... This isn't a case study. We're actually closing on this property. We're approximately $300K away from completing our capital raise. I'll answer your questions in the comments, including how we're looking at the downside if rents, occupancy or valuation don't go according to plan.

A property can look like a great deal on the surface, but the numbers and due diligence can tell a completely different story. I’m curious to hear from the experienced investors here: What is the ONE thing you always check before deciding a property is worth pursuing? Is it: • Cash flow • Location • Financing • Repairs/renovation costs • Rental demand • Comparable sales • Taxes and insurance • Something else? And for the newer investors what part of analyzing a deal do you find the most confusing right now? Would love to hear different perspectives. I think the best lessons often come from hearing how other investors actually think through a deal.
