I do due diligence on passive positions for a living and I've somehow never bought a house myself, so I'm trying to build the cash requirement from the bottom up rather than trust…
Package came across from a retiring owner. Twelve houses, all within about nine miles of each other, built between 1958 and 1979, sizes from 1,050 to 1,480 sq ft. Asking 2,640,000…
I keep going back and forth on this one and now I have to pick a lane. Surface lot, 64 spaces, three blocks from a hospital campus and a transit stop. Asking $940k. My underwritin…
Five lots coming off 41 acres, preliminary approval in hand, plat should record in the spring. Access is off existing county frontage so there's no road to build, which is why I b…
Bought this one two years ago, 11 apartments over four commercial bays, total ground floor about 5,800 sf. Inherited leases from an owner who had held it since the nineties and ha…
Six apartments over 2,400 sf of storefront, building went up in the 1920s, and the parcel got rezoned to a residential district decades ago. The commercial space is a legal noncon…
Put $30k into an office deal through an online platform in my second year of doing anything at all. 110,000 sf, two buildings, 81 percent leased at acquisition, plan was to renew…
My real estate is land. Roughly 60 acres held long, some of it leased for hay at a number that barely covers taxes, and a smaller parcel I expect to be worth something when the gr…
The convergence argument shows up everywhere: public REITs trading at a discount to both broader equities and to private real estate marks, with the private gap described as the l…
I read filings before I read prices, so I came into REITs through the wrong door. What I actually look for in a 10-K is the table of debt maturities by year, the weighted average…
Land and long holds are what I know. Somebody at a meeting said I should hold some REITs for liquidity since my land does nothing for years at a time, and I nodded like I understo…
I manage two small apartment buildings for an owner who also holds a 190-space paved lot about four blocks off the core, near a hospital campus and a courthouse. He's been self-ma…
An agent sent me a listing for a single parking space in a downtown condo garage. $38,000, HOA dues $95 a month, currently rented to someone in the building for $225 a month. The…
I set the interest rate on a note I carried by feel and it cost me somewhere around 17,000 when I needed the money back. The deal. Small 2 bed 1 bath rental, about 780 square feet…
I've spent two years looking at land and holding patterns, so buying an actual building with actual tenants is new territory for me. The deal: 6,200 sf single story medical buildi…
I've been reading a flyer for a 14,000 sf building leased to a dermatology practice and a physical therapy group. It's described as an off-campus MOB, mostly second generation spa…
I have 52k saved and I'm looking at houses in the 130 to 160 range where 20 to 25 percent down plus closing plus a light turn puts me somewhere between 40 and 48k in. Which means…
I keep getting told net lease is the passive option and that closing costs are minimal because the tenant handles the building. Then someone in another thread said a Phase I is $2…
This closed six weeks ago and I've been waiting to write it up until the first rent hit the account, which it did on the second. What it is: a 2,100 sf condominium retail unit ins…
I'm getting close to selling a small brick fourplex I've owned since 2014, no debt on it, and I have two live conversations. Both want me to carry. I've spent the last three weeks…
