I came into this planning to buy one rental. What I ended up with is a 5-unit in an older brick building, 412k, and the reason I am posting is the tenant files, because that is wh…
Selling a renovated fourplex I own free and clear. Buyer is a contractor, decent operator, thin on liquid cash. Terms we're circling: $425k price, $85k down, $340k note at 7.5%, 3…
Tenant of five years asked to buy the house. Never late, not once, has the rent receipts to prove it. We've talked around 410k, she can put 41k down, and she can't get a bank loan…
I've spent a while trying to pick between buying a small rental and building a REIT position, and I've started to suspect that's a badly formed question. Either they're two routes…
The absorption rebound everyone points to for 2026, the jump toward 220 million square feet, leans on three drivers: reshoring, manufacturing, and data-center-adjacent demand. The…
I wanted income and no second job. What I bought is nine apartments over two ground floor bays, 3,100 sf total commercial, one bay a physical therapy practice and one a small bake…
Getting quotes on the paper stage for a detached unit behind a house I already own and the soft costs are stacking up faster than I expected. Feasibility and zoning review $2,500.…
Two adjacent infill lots in a first-ring suburb, bought in 2021 at $71k and $78k. The thesis was that the state was moving on ADU-enabling legislation and the city would follow, a…
Been doing service calls in an age-restricted community for about two years. The developer kept back six detached cottages as rentals and is selling four of them off. He offered m…
A broker sent me a 60-unit building he's calling independent living. The rent roll reads like apartments, $1,650 average, tenants sign a normal-looking lease, and there's a room w…
I read the NCREIF timberland volatility figure three times before it bothered me. Around 6.9 percent standard deviation against roughly 16 for public equities, and the properties…
Two years in on a 10 room licensed house I took over with residents already in place. The number I actually track is average tenancy measured at move-out, and it went from 7 month…
I'm reading the LP agreement on a 78-lot park where in-place lot rent is $270 and the sponsor's own comp set shows $395 to $425 at four parks within twelve miles. The business pla…
Deep in diligence on a 120 site park at 4.2M, seller's NOI 372k, so call it 8.8 going in. Good corridor location with a state park eight miles away. The revenue side holds up unde…
16 acres, listed a while, frontage on two roads, priced at about $7,500 an acre. The listing says "possible split" which I've learned means nothing. The county ordinance is online…
I run low price point rural stuff, and the house hack question I can't resolve is how long to actually stay after the occupancy requirement is satisfied. The repeat model says you…
Building a list and this one keeps coming back to me. 32 licensed AL units, single story, 2004 build, asking $4.6M, so $144k a door. T-12 revenue $1.9M against T-12 expenses of $1…
This is the question I'd have been too embarrassed to ask out loud. Every article about residential assisted living talks about it as a real estate strategy, and then somewhere in…
I've had a $145k gain sitting from a business sale since the spring and no strong opinion about where it should go. I ended up building a one page checklist and running every fund…
I do fast deals normally, so a ten year hold is the opposite of everything I usually do. Writing this for people who are where I was in March, which is having a gain and no idea w…
