I'm walking through the math on selling one of my smaller buildings on my own paper in a year or two, and the down payment is the piece I can't settle. Argument for wanting a big…
Somebody sent me a ground lease on a small campground to look at as practice, and I want to flag one clause for anyone new, because it took me three reads to see why it mattered.…
A landlord I do turnover cleaning for failed her voucher inspection twice on the same unit. First visit it was a missing outlet cover plate and a loose stair rail. Second visit th…
Two-bed unit in a small portfolio, payment standard for the bedroom size is $1,450, market for the same floor plan across the street is around $1,500. I submitted at $1,400 and th…
Six units total, four of them now running furnished for mid-term and corporate stays. This was an operations fix rather than a deal, and it moved more money than my last acquisiti…
I've been pricing out two furnishing packages for the same 2 bed unit and the gap is wider than I expected. The traveler package is around 6k, warehouse store beds, a couch that w…
Zoning verification letter landed last week on a 44-lot community I've been circling. The park predates the current ordinance, so the use is legal nonconforming, and the letter sa…
I read everything twice and I've read the supply argument about four times now. New deliveries in apartments, industrial, self-storage and senior housing are forecast to drop shar…
The convergence argument for 2026 into 2027 is fairly clean. REIT valuations sit near historic discounts to both broad equities and to private real estate, the private gap being t…
Closed on 38 acres of mixed timber and old pasture in a low-population county at $27,500. Comps on similar acreage with clean frontage were running $1,600 to $2,000 an acre, so on…
I'm probably nine months from closing on my first piece, somewhere between 80 and 120 tillable acres. Two neighbors have already told me two different things about how to lease it…
Six-level garage in a secondary downtown, bought into it as a minority partner in 2021. 240 spaces, the underwriting leaned on 71 monthly contracts at $145 covering fixed costs an…
140 acres, a 345kV line crosses the northeast corner, and the parcel sits about 8 miles off an I-20 interchange. A developer's land team came in with an option: $250 per acre per…
I've got about $150k I want to put toward this sector and two routes on my desk, and after three weeks of reading I still can't articulate the difference in what I'd actually own.…
A friend from work put me in front of a sponsor doing a mixed-use redevelopment and I've got the offering documents open. $50k minimum, and I have questions I'd be embarrassed to…
Corner building from the 1930s, five apartments over two storefronts. One storefront is a taqueria with a fryer and a hood, the other is a dry cleaner drop-off. My whole backgroun…
Two farms, same county, eleven miles apart. I've walked both twice and I keep flipping. Farm A is 155 acres, asking works out to about $7,900 an acre. Roughly 40 of it holds water…
First rental closes in three weeks and I've been writing my screening criteria down so I apply the same ones to everybody. The income rule I drafted is three times the rent in ver…
I gut and rebuild for a living, so I lean toward buying the cheaper house and building the rental unit myself. A basement apartment on a house I already own costs me materials plu…
A broker sent me a one page flyer on a 7,000 sf two story clinic building in a suburb I barely know. Four suites, three leased, an asking price, a rent roll with three lines on it…
