I have six furnished doors now and I pulled the source of every placement since I started. Four of six units filled last year through the same corporate housing marketplace, which…
I'm planning my first purchase and the shape I keep coming back to is small, four apartments over one or two commercial bays in a walkable older neighborhood. Two brokers and one…
Toured a building going up in a mid-size market, 28 apartments over 6,000 square feet of raw ground floor shell. The developer is selling it before stabilization and he's open abo…
The plan was diversification. One portal, five deals, $10,000 each, different asset types and different states. Two extended stay hotel conversions, a small industrial infill, a b…
An operator with a 22 room house reached out about contracting out what he calls resident services. Right now that means daily common area cleaning, weekly room linen, a hot break…
Trying to read a refinance step correctly before I go further with any of this, and I think I've been mixing up two different numbers. What I read was a version of the rule where…
I've been trying to work out what my first deal actually costs and ended up modeling one property both ways to see whether the rehab-and-refi cycle was worth the extra work. Numbe…
A developer sent me an option agreement on the west 60 of my 160. Twenty five year term with two five year extensions, escalator on the rent, option period of three years while th…
Second season on a 46 site park, mid tier destination market, real summer and a decent fall through the third week of October. Question on the table for next week is whether we sh…
Two years in on the market-rate side and I still managed to walk into this one, so I'll write it up plainly for anyone as new to the program as I was. I bought a small 3BR in a de…
Something isn't adding up in what I've read. Every article says the government pays the rent and that's why Section 8 is safe income. Then I read a comment saying the tenant pays…
I have been analyzing instead of buying for long enough that people have stopped asking me how it is going, so here is the specific thing keeping me in the spreadsheet. A 12 year…
This is the ceiling I keep talking about and I finally hit it with numbers attached, so here they are. Started with 140k of my own cash 26 months ago. Plan was four single family…
I've been building this out slowly on purpose and the pattern is now clear enough to worry about. Each of the three houses left something like $22k to $28k behind after the cash-o…
I've been reading loan documents rather than blog posts, which may be why I'm confused. The security instrument I looked at has a covenant saying the borrower will occupy the prop…
I've been building a spreadsheet for months and I want somebody to tell me what line is missing. Target is a 285k three bed in a working neighborhood about 25 minutes from where I…
I'm pricing a service for rural land flippers and the fee structure is the entire question, so I want to hear how operators would rather be billed. The work is the unglamorous mid…
I papered a sub-to for a partner in early last year and got a phone call in the fall that started with "my ex says the house is part of her bankruptcy." It wasn't, and the reason…
Looking at funding an operator who holds title on three houses where the underlying loans are all in the original sellers' names. On one of them the seller told him straight out s…
I manage a handful of houses leased to care operators and the maintenance split is where every one of these relationships goes sour eventually. Option one, operator carries it. Le…
