Still working out which strategy fits me and lease options keep coming back up, so I've been reading drafts people have posted here and the strike price is where they all differ.…
Closed three weeks ago on the house I'd been in on a lease option since spring of the year before last. Posting the numbers because I got a lot of help in here when I was reading…
I put money into other people's deals and read their documents, so I'm coming at this from the paperwork end rather than from operating. A sponsor I look at is starting to offer r…
Sold this in the spring at $3.35m against a $4.2m basis, 26 months in, and the loss on paper understates it because of what it did to my team's time. The asset: single story purpo…
I'm not buying yet, so this is a paperwork win rather than a deal. I spent three weeks calling lenders to find out who would actually count projected income from an accessory unit…
Every cost breakdown I can find stops at the down payment and closing costs. Nobody lists the running stuff. If I buy a duplex and live in one side, what do I actually sign up for…
When I funded the SDIRA two years ago I set an arbitrary rule that felt over-cautious at the time: eighteen months of full operating costs in cash inside the account before I'd sp…
I spent half a year reading fund decks for data center exposure and I finally admitted I couldn't evaluate any of them. Every deck had a power story I had no way to verify. Minimu…
I'm still saving toward a first rental, but a friend on the LP side forwarded me two offerings in the same Sun Belt MSA, submarkets about four miles apart, and I've read both twic…
A group I've looked at before sent me a mezzanine slot behind a senior loan on a five story office in a second tier downtown. Building is 1998, about 110,000 sf, 71 percent leased…
Looking at an LP position in a prime CBD asset and the debt is what I can't get comfortable with. Details as presented: $78m purchase, 91 percent leased, in-place NOI $5.65m, so a…
Been through the PPM twice on a fund buying obsolete office for residential conversion, and I want other eyes before the next closing. The seed asset is a 1974 tower, 180,000 sf g…
I've got two parcels I'll probably sell in the next couple of years, both held free and clear, and I've been reading sample notes to figure out what I'd actually want in one. The…
The duplex I'm looking at has a single water meter for both units, and the seller's statement shows water and sewer around $180 a month, paid by the owner. My agent said just add…
Fourplex, two up two down, 585k, in a first ring suburb where the current zoning only permits two units per lot. The building predates the zoning by about forty years. County prop…
Went through a subscription agreement last night and found the sentence that made me stop. The platform describes itself as the portal and the technology provider. The issuer is a…
Small one. Striped lot, 12 spaces, sits behind a row of five storefronts in a town of about 30,000. Seller is one of the storefront owners and he's leaving town. Current: nine spa…
I've been sitting down with owners to figure out where a service business could actually be useful, and parking keeps producing the same complaint. One owner with two garages, bot…
I've spent most of my time on raw land, so storage is new to me. What pulled me in is that the sector seems to be arguing with itself right now and both sides sound reasonable. Th…
Guy at a local meetup runs a sponsor group doing office-to-apartment conversions and offered me a $50k LP unit. 8 percent pref, 70/30 split after, three to five year hold, and he…
