I've got 40k in cash set aside for crowdfunded real estate and I've been circling it for about six weeks. Two candidates on my list. Platform A is a pooled fund, roughly 1% annual…
I've been tracking a book of 14 equity deals across three platforms, targets ranging 11 to 16 percent IRR. The realized and marked blend is coming in around 8. Nothing has gone to…
I put 25k into a small lien fund fourteen months ago, mostly because I wanted one position that wasn't tied to the service business I'm building. It came back at 26.9k after fees.…
Two things I've read don't fit together. One says you can buy a tax lien for as little as $200, which makes it sound like the most accessible thing in real estate. The other descr…
I called a custodian about moving an old 401k into a self-directed IRA so I can put some of it into land-backed notes and maybe one small land fund. The rep quoted two paths. Basi…
Note one: 54k, 11 percent, matured last month, borrower paid off clean. Note two: 42k, 11.5 percent, 4 months left, same borrower, secured on a rehab in a small market where the e…
Been comparing the governance sections of five LPAs I've either signed or declined, and the thing that stands out is how rarely LPs get more than one real protection. Sponsors wil…
31 unit garden style, bought three years ago, 8 percent preferred return paid quarterly. Renewal came back 41 percent higher on premium, and between that and two extended vacancie…
Talking to a manager about a value-add fund and the paperwork keeps saying commitment rather than investment. The minimum commitment is $250,000. My understanding is I sign the su…
One of my longest-running clients has been buying apartments for 20 years. He's now raising a $50M debt fund, his first, and offered me a slot at the $100k minimum. I've never inv…
Numbers first, then the part that nearly killed it. Six-facility portfolio, secondary markets in one state, bought as two separate deals about seven months apart. Total basis $23.…
I brought numbers and I want to know what's wrong with them. Same file, two models. A $94,000 balance on a small single family in a stable secondary market, as-is value $112,000,…
I wanted income without a second job, and I'd been told repeatedly that liens are a job. So I went the fund route instead of buying certificates myself. $75k in, three year term,…
A note seller sent me a tape with columns marked NPL and RPL and one row labeled "sub-performing." I thought non-performing just meant the borrower stopped paying. But two loans o…
A seller I've traded emails with for a few months sent me a tape of nine defaulted first liens and said I could cherry-pick one instead of taking the whole pool. I've only ever bo…
Someone in a webinar said developers routinely spend six figures studying an office building before they've bought anything, and that most of those studies end with a no. I don't…
I have spent way too long just running numbers and I am trying to actually move on something, so I want people to poke holes in this before I do. The building is a three story for…
I've been working through the interest rate hedging disclosures on a handful of agency-focused mREITs and the range of approaches is wider than I expected for what's supposedly a…
Three years ago I put $50k into a 96-unit apartment deal, which was most of what I'd saved toward my own first purchase. I chose it because the sponsor's materials said 27 deals c…
Small one, and I mostly want to write down how it went because everything I read about mezz before this was written for people moving ten times the money. A sponsor I'd co-investe…
