I've been mapping out a route for a few older neighborhoods near me and I've got about 40 addresses logged so far, mostly overgrown yards and one house with plywood on a side wind…
I finally stopped reading and drove. Three hours Saturday morning, one older neighborhood on the edge of town where the houses are 1950s ranches and about a third of them have bee…
I've got about $400 a month I can spend on outreach and maybe ten hours a week. I pulled a small list off a platform trial (absentee owners with long tenure in two zip codes, abou…
I have been circling deals without doing one for a while, which people here know. This isn't a deal. It's the first money the license has produced and the mechanics surprised me e…
I'm modeling a 24 unit conversion out of a 1970s office building, all-in around $4.6m, and the two exits produce different projects, not just different returns. Sell at certificat…
Signed a 9 month exclusive buyer rep last spring with an agent who marketed himself as investor-focused, which he genuinely was. He also runs a flip business, which I knew and did…
Ran this the right way round. Buyer gave me a written box, I found a 1960s three bed on a corner lot that fit it, went to contract at 141,000 with 2,500 earnest, fourteen day insp…
Course hours are done, exam is in five weeks, and I'm licensing in the state I live in. The problem is that roughly 60% of my usable leads are coming out of a metro about 700 mile…
I care more about the filing cabinet than the houses, so this is where I'm stuck. My plan is to source in four states, none of them the one where my LLC is organized. The LLC neve…
There are two opposite stories going around about finding rough houses. Someone in my area told me to just drive neighborhoods and write down houses that look rough, and someone e…
I've been pulling lists for four months and finally have two owners who will talk to me. I can chase one properly. Trying to pick. Lead A is a probate situation, court data, singl…
Got two parcels under contract this quarter and one of them came from a hand mailed list, so I'm rebuilding my acquisition process and stuck on cost. Option A is cold mail to what…
I've been circling strategies for months and driving is the one I can start on Saturday with no budget. What I haven't settled is what I'm supposed to do with a property if I get…
Small builder, four to six houses a year, I've watched him work for two years without doing anything about it. He's got a finished 1,700 foot three bedroom sitting since August, l…
Reading a fixed-price gut contract from a GC and the allowances section is doing an enormous amount of work. Allowance for tile, allowance for cabinetry, allowance for anything be…
Trades background, mostly commercial mechanical, so I'm coming at this from the pipe end rather than the money end. An office floor has maybe two wet stacks serving a core restroo…
I've had a 4.1 acre parcel on the edge of a small downtown since 2019, bought for the land at $310k. There's a 1974 light industrial building on it, 38,000 square feet, single sto…
First one I got all the way to a settlement date and it died on the closer's desk. Numbers: contract with the seller at 112k, end buyer signed at 131k. Small 3/1 in a working clas…
Posting this because the mechanics of how I lost the money are more interesting than the amount. The buyer was a mid-size operator buying through an acquisitions analyst, single f…
Following up on my earlier thread about start costs. I went with the cheap version and it took longer than the spreadsheet said. Six weeks, 140-odd calls and texts, 22 people who'…
