I've been talking to a few homeowners about their backyard unit plans and I keep ending up as the person who calls the building department, collects contractor bids and keeps the…
Trying to do this carefully rather than fast, and I've now been careful for eleven months, so here are the actual numbers in the hope somebody tells me which question I should be…
I hold about 30 acres of raw ground at the edge of a metro that got hit hard by the delivery wave. Three projects within two miles of me are either paused or dead, and the pipelin…
I've got a few rentals and I'm hitting a wall on down payments, so the ADU thing looks like a way to add a unit without buying more dirt. My own house has a detached two-car garag…
Bought a 1940s house last spring with a full basement, 7'9" ceilings, separate side entrance already there. The plan was a one bedroom basement ADU, rent it long term, keep living…
I want income and I don't want a second job, so operating a 200 unit asset is never happening for me. That leaves two doors and I've spent three months going back and forth betwee…
This was my first passive investment in anything and I picked the thing that sounded safest. Age-restricted community, 132 units, existing building from the 90s, sponsor was buyin…
I ran two owner-occupant structures against the same $340k house, three bed, 1990s, in a submarket where it rents for about $2,450 today. Quotes I was given last month, and rates…
Still in diligence, so nothing is signed. The house is a 3 bed 1.5 bath in a working neighborhood about a mile from a community college. Whole house would lease around $1,650. Thr…
Trying to work out the monthly overhead on a 4-bed before I go further. I've seen co-living operators mention things like room-level listing sites, rent collection apps, and somet…
I've done a few small value-add residential deals and I'm hitting the ceiling on how much of my week they take. Net lease looks like the answer, except every listing that has a te…
I've spent two years reading here before buying anything, so this is my one purchase and I don't have a pattern to compare it to yet. It's a freestanding QSR pad, about 2,400 sf,…
This one's closed out so I can tell it properly. Eighteen months ago I wanted into manufactured housing and couldn't afford a park. What I could afford was homes. I bought two 199…
Comparing two LP offerings, both acquiring small parks in the same three states, and the assumptions are far enough apart that one of them has to be wrong. Fund A: 5-year hold, $2…
This is a deal I didn't close, and the money went out anyway. I've been working toward a first purchase for a while and got further than usual on a four-unit near a hospital and t…
Sponsor is buying a 96-unit active adult property, ten years old, currently 93 percent occupied, in a second-ring suburb. Agency-style senior debt is in first position at roughly…
I've been looking at storage as a way to make a piece of ground pay without me showing up every day, and I've got two very different listings in front of me. Both are around 100 t…
Closed six weeks ago and I want to write down how it actually went while I still remember the annoying parts. The tract: 210 acres of loblolly pine, average age around 18, one blo…
Career changing into this and I've spent four months looking. Found a 9 room house, asking 310k, seller says all 9 rented at 540, so 4,860 a month, 58,320 gross. I pulled what I c…
Trying to work out the operations side of these before my team touches one. The way it's been described to me, we'd get the seller's online login and just make the payment from ou…
