Four financed properties including the current primary. Gross income about $11,000 a month, ratio sitting around 44 percent by the way my lender counts it, which means the next ow…
Two adjacent corner parcels, about 0.6 acres total, in a small city that just rewrote its downtown-adjacent district. Ground floor commercial permitted and encouraged, three resid…
Trying to build the operating line of a model for two units and I keep guessing at the software and services layer. Specifically what people pay for a dynamic pricing tool, whethe…
Built out the apartment over my detached garage this spring, I did the framing, rough-in and finish myself, licensed guys on the electrical and the gas line. 480 square feet, one…
I've been researching for months and hadn't bought anything, so when an advisor walked me through a public non-traded REIT I was ready to move. Minimum was 2,500, I put in 20,000.…
Went through four REIT annual reports this month and came out with a sequencing problem I can't settle. One order says sector first. The chapter for this room is blunt about it, s…
This one got away from me because I trusted a comp set that was doing work I didn't understand. 62 acres, edge of a growth corridor, two road frontages, in a county that had been…
36 acres, county ordinance exempts a division of four or fewer lots from the major subdivision requirements, meaning no engineered road to county standard, no stormwater plan, no…
Beginner framing because I got this one wrong in my head for weeks before I understood it. I kept treating sub-to as a way to buy cheap. It's a way to buy a payment. The house I c…
Took over a 1958 ranch at $214k balance, 3.5%, 24 years left, PITI $1,498. Seller wanted $8k and out. House was rough, not unlivable. My plan was standard for me: put $45k in, ren…
Got a deal sheet from a wholesaler that says "sub2, assumable, 3.25%" on it. When I asked whether the loan was actually assumable he said sub2 and assumable are the same thing, yo…
I've put money into three passive office deals. The first one I said no to for a reason I can explain in a paragraph, and the two I said yes to have both paid so far, so I want to…
Asking price works out to a 9.1 cap on in-place, which for a rural building isn't strange on its own. What's making me stare at it is the tenant roster. Family practice in 4,400 s…
$75,000 into a three-property self-storage portfolio in a secondary southeast market. Plan was to buy older facilities running at low occupancy, add climate-controlled units, push…
An owner in my area has 11 single family houses, all on rent-to-own with tenant-buyers, terms between 18 and 36 months. His credits were tracked in a spiral notebook and a spreads…
I've been pricing this out badly. Someone told me you can't get a mortgage on bare farmland the way you can on a rental, and that lenders want 40 or 50 percent down. Then I found…
This landed on me through an estate and I've read the documents twice, so numbers first. 320 acres, roughly 280 tillable, in a county where the extension survey put average cash r…
Small two story building in a suburban node. Suite 104 is a 2,100 sf pediatric practice at $34/sf. Suite 206 is a 2,000 sf insurance agency at $26/sf. Same building, same age, sam…
Under LOI review on a two tenant clinic building, about 12,000 sf, asking $3.6m. My lender contact listed reports she'd need and I only recognized half of them. Phase I, PCA, ALTA…
I ran the same 20 acre parcel two ways on a spreadsheet and I can't decide which column I like, so I'll put the numbers up and let people argue. Cost in is $8,400. I'm asking $22,…
