In this episode, our hosts, Ash Patel, Joe Cornwell, and Slocomb Reed engage in a lively roundtable discussion about the challenges and opportunities presented by the current real estate market, emphasizing the importance of stress-testing deals and being prepared for various scenarios. The conversation touches on topics such as underwriting, creative deal structures, and the shifting dynamics in the Midwest market. 

Key Takeaways:

• Stress-Test Your Deals: In the current market, it's crucial to stress-test your real estate deals. Factors like rising interest rates, potential vacancies, and unforeseen challenges should be considered in your financial projections.
• Creative Deal Structures: To succeed in the competitive market, consider creative deal structures. Whether it's negotiating seller financing, concessions, or exploring unique opportunities, having flexibility in your approach can make a significant difference.
• Long-Term Focus: Expect longer hold times for your investments. With uncertainty in the market, planning for a five-plus year window rather than short-term flipping is a prudent strategy to manage risk effectively.
