One metric you wish you'd weighted more on your last deal?
Curious how people here actually decide. Every time I finish underwriting something there's almost always one input I wish I'd been harder on. Vacancy, exit cap, rehab, rent. Sometimes I catch it, sometimes I don't.
A few things I'm trying to figure out:
Last deal — what's the one input you'd change if you could re-run it? And honestly, was it because the number didn't push back, or because you didn't want to see the problem?
Which of these do you actually trust most when you pull the trigger — cap rate, CoC, DSCR, IRR, monthly cash flow, walk-away price, something else?
Which one do you trust the least, and why?
Has someone ever talked you out of a deal you were already excited about? What did they catch that you'd missed?
For the BRRRR folks — how do you sanity check ARV before sinking rehab money? Feels like the biggest gotcha in the strategy.
Trying to learn. Want to know what the folks who've actually done a bunch of deals look at first. TIA.
