For Investors

Investment Properties

Rentals, fix-and-flips, and properties that need work — with the numbers worked out before you commit.

Rentals

What a Rental Actually Returns

Rent Against True Cost

We compare realistic market rent to the real monthly cost: mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy.

Cash Flow Isn’t Everything

A property can be cash-flow neutral and still be a reasonable long-term hold. It depends on what you’re trying to achieve.

Local Rent Reality

I’ll show you what comparable units nearby actually rent for — not what a listing hopes to get.

Holding Costs

Property management, repairs, insurance, and the months a unit sits empty between tenants.

Fix and Flip

Renovation Math, Not Guesses

Purchase Price

What the property is worth in its current condition, based on comparable sales — not the asking price.

Renovation Budget

Line-item estimates with a contingency. I renovate properties myself, so these are figures I’d use on my own deal.

Holding Costs

Financing, taxes, insurance, and utilities for every month the project runs — including the months it runs late.

Exit Price

What the finished property should sell for, and how sensitive that number is to the market.

The Risk

I don’t promise returns. Renovations run over, markets move, and I’ll show you what the downside looks like.

Before You Buy

Things Worth Checking Early

Roof, Foundation, Drainage

The three expensive categories. I flag them before you spend money on inspections, not after.

Permits and Unpermitted Work

Additions and conversions without permits can complicate a future sale or refinance. We check early.

Title and Easements

Access, utility easements, and boundary questions, caught before closing rather than years later.

Exit Liquidity

How quickly similar properties sell in that area. A great deal is less great if it takes a year to sell.
