Trying to figure out what the first deal costs me and now I'm trying to figure out what joining a network costs too. I've seen a free Discord, a group charging 97 a month, and one…
I'm supposed to be closing on my first rental next month, a boring 3/1 I'm buying with a normal mortgage, and I got on a few wholesaler lists during the search because everyone sa…
Trying to decide whether the office uptick people are pointing at is something a service business should build around, and the answer depends entirely on what's driving it. The fo…
I've been learning how private money moves and I want to understand the operator side before I ever fund anyone. If someone told me they were doing their first cosmetic flip, what…
Still finishing my licensing coursework, so I can't represent anyone yet, but a friend has asked me to look at a house he wants to flip and tell him what it'll sell for after. He'…
Still no deals. What I've been doing instead is building the paper so that when a seller does say yes I'm not improvising. Where I've landed so far. Purchase agreement with the se…
I've bought two rentals from wholesalers so I've seen this from the other side, but I'm now looking at whether I could do an assignment myself on a house I can't finance. Where I'…
Rural county, population under 20,000, and the development authority has an abatement package and a tenant prospect that wants 80,000 square feet on a rail spur that runs past my…
I have been building a list for about seven months and said in here more than once that I was not buying. Technically still true. I sold a contract instead. The lead was a 1,400 s…
I'm working toward the service side of this business and reading about REO in the meantime, and two things keep tripping me up. First, do I need a real estate license to buy a for…
The pitch was 11 agents, a recognizable local name, and a founder who'd been in the business 14 years. I looked at agent count and closings and thought I understood the business.…
I run thin and fast, mostly my own listings and a few buyers, and the money I make is the money I close. So the broker owner idea only makes sense to me if I keep producing while…
I've been reading note and loan sale material because that's the direction I lean, and the office paper is where the discounts are. Sub-performing, maturity defaults, sellers who…
I read everything twice and I've now read this one four times. What I understand. It takes effect July 1, 2026. It requires wholesalers to register. It gives the seller a three da…
I've been looking at rural land rather than houses, and I've found two parcels where the owners are out of state and have stopped paying the taxes. I don't want to own them. I'd r…
I underwrite, so I want to put a number on this rather than argue about ethics. Say a 1.2m listing, seller pays 5% total, 60k. Brokerage represents both sides, so 60k to one firm.…
Under contract on a 6-unit, 1971 build, 610k purchase, in-place gross of 71,400 with two units 190 under market. Financing quoted at a level that pencils at roughly a 1.28 DSCR on…
I've been underwriting other people's flip requests for a while and I'm finally looking at doing one myself, which means I'm on the other side of the questions I usually ask. The…
Small win, real numbers. Corner building in a designated tract, retail down, two apartments up, vacant three years. Paid 148k. Allocation put 39k to land and 109k to the building,…
NOD recorded in a non-judicial state, auction 27 days out when the owner signed with me. Payoff came back at 187,400 including 14,200 of arrears and trustee fees. I agreed to 241k…
