## Resource

In this episode of "Keys to Success", host Litra Simms guides listeners through various metrics that indicate when a property investment might be starting to falter. She provides insights into four critical metrics: cash flow, vacancy rates, maintenance frequency, and late payments. She explains that a decrease in cash flow is an initial sign of a problem and can result from increased expenses or weak rent collections. High vacancy rates or long turnovers between tenants could suggest pricing or marketing issues. Increased maintenance calls may indicate underlying property issues, while an uptick in late payments can forewarn of tenant financial strain. For each issue, Litra gives actionable strategies to tackle these problems early on, emphasizing the importance of staying vigilant and proactive in the real estate industry.
