I own a three bedroom, live in it, and had two empty rooms doing nothing but holding boxes. Six weeks ago both are rented and I want to write down what happened while it's still f…
Been circling a public non-traded REIT for four months. The number that stopped me is in the distributions table: for the trailing year, roughly 62% of distributions paid were fun…
Small portfolio on the rental side, and I'm looking at a non-traded REIT for the part of my money I don't want tied to a roof. The offering says distributions may be funded from s…
I'm still in the reading stage on this, no house yet, and the lease term question keeps stopping me. Every room-rental owner I've talked to splits into two camps. One camp does tw…
I manage other people's rentals for a living and I sold one of my own on my paper this spring. Nine years of owning a plain 2 bed 1 bath, about 900 square feet, three blocks from…
Writing this as the passive side of the trade, because I do not think I have seen this failure described plainly anywhere. Two years ago I put $35,000 into a joint venture with an…
I'm looking at a rural county and pulled the assessor site expecting to see what parcels sold for. There's acreage, an assessed value, an owner name, and no sale price anywhere. S…
Chasing a question I can't settle. A facility built around 2014 for something like 6 to 8 kW per rack, air cooled, decent connectivity, on a feed with modest headroom. Fully lease…
I have a 2 bed 1 bath, 900 square feet, four blocks off a light rail line, under contract at 178k with 15% down. Furnishing budget 9,000. Unfurnished comps 1,400. Furnished 30 plu…
Low price points are my whole thing, so mid-term looks attractive because a $90,000 house with a $1,100 furnished rent is a much better ratio than anything in the city. Problem is…
Family friend inherited a 20 site campground and I've been helping read the numbers, which is how I ended up with an opinion I can't defend. There's about 25k available for improv…
Five bedroom, two bath, about 1,900 square feet, bought in a college-adjacent submarket and run room by room since. Rooms are 690 to 780, gross sits around 3,650 a month. A whole-…
Something like $1.5 trillion of commercial mortgage debt comes due through the end of 2026 and a heavy share of it sits on office. Office delinquency on securitized loans hit an a…
Land version, since most of the room is doing houses. 34 acres, mostly cleared pasture, 700 feet of county road frontage, an hour out from a growing small city. Seller was an out…
This isn't mine on paper. My aunt owns a 26 site campground on a river, an hour from a decent sized city, and she asked me to run the books and the bookings two years ago because…
I have been underwriting an 11-unit for three weeks and the whole deal comes down to one decision I keep changing my mind on. In place: eleven units, average 810, comps support 1,…
Two parcels in the same region, both about 80 acres, and I keep flipping between them. The first is what everyone here would call Grade A. High soil productivity rating, tile that…
An owner with about 40 doors across a few small buildings asked if I'd take his maintenance calls. Roughly 30 of those units are voucher tenants. He's offering $1,800 a month as a…
I've got a duplex under contract and a property manager telling me the housing authority inspection is "free and pretty easy." That doesn't square with a landlord I talked to who…
This is a small win and I want to be clear about the scale before anyone gets excited. I've been holding 40 acres on the edge of a growing small town for going on seven years, wai…
