Writing this down because I think a lot of people preparing are doing what I did. I'm looking for one small rental to hold, not to wholesale, so my idea was to find an owner direc…
Small town, population under 4,000, three bed one bath at 1,180 square feet on 1.4 acres. Judicial state, so the notice had been filed 14 months before there was a sale date on th…
Running a shell in a market I've been watching for a year. ARV supported at 340k by three comps within a quarter mile, all renovated to the finish level I'd be matching. Contracto…
Closed the sale nine days ago. I'd been in analysis mode for the better part of two years, and the thing that finally moved me was building a carry model I actually believed inste…
This is the first deal where the sequencing actually paid me instead of just making me feel organized. I'd spent about two months getting written criteria from small operators rat…
I've been running the formula on everything in a 20 mile radius. ARV times 0.70, minus repairs, and that's the most I can pay. On a house listed at 189 where I think ARV is 250 an…
I ask the questions I'd have been embarrassed to ask out loud, so here's one with numbers. Underwriting a house where I pulled six comps in a half mile radius, all sold in the las…
My first rental, a small duplex, has tenants moving in at the start of next month. I spent four months learning screening and lease language and I thought that would be the whole…
I've been reading through how private money looks at service businesses and I can't get the brokerage math to sit still. The asset is a set of independent contractor agreements th…
I'm looking at parcels, mostly 5 to 40 acres, price points from about $40k to $120k. Two agents have now more or less brushed me off, and a third said outright that she'd need a f…
I'm rebuilding my outreach for a market I've never been to, and the two options don't sit next to each other well. Outbound calling and texting means I control the volume. I pull…
A few years out from selling a house that will list somewhere north of $3M, and the fee structure is the question I keep circling back to. On a straight percentage at 2.5%, the li…
We've held 46 acres for nine years, row crop lease, taxes paid, no plans. It sits about a mile from a transmission line and there's a substation on the far side of the county road…
Lender told me they can't issue a term sheet on a small retail box we're looking at until there's a Phase I in the file. Someone in another forum said those are about $2,000. The…
My first rental hasn't even closed yet, so I'm asking about someone else's problem that I've been shown the spreadsheet for. A builder I know has a finished four bedroom sitting a…
Three of the luxury agents my service-side team works with are all doing this differently, which makes me think none of them has it settled either. The percentage camp. Keep charg…
Every piece I read about commercial wholesaling says the motivated sellers right now are in office and older retail. Fine, I believe there are sellers. What I can't work out is th…
Six weeks into trying to build a commercial buyer side and I have 34 names, of which maybe four have ever told me a specific box they'd fill. The rest say things like "multifamily…
I've been reading for half a year, haven't done a deal, and I want to pick something I can start this month. Bird dogging keeps coming up as the free entry point because you don't…
Four deals in and my problem is deal flow, so I told a guy at a local meetup I'd pay $2,000 per closing for addresses in my two zip codes. He's enthusiastic. In three weeks he's s…
