There's a house I've been circling for three weeks and I want to be talked out of it or into it before I write anything. What I have: 6 bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one shared ki…
I'm under contract on a 1920s house that's been rented by the room for years without a license. Six bedrooms upstairs, two down, one kitchen, two full baths. Gross on the rent rol…
Working out which strategy fits me and this one has stalled my thinking for a week. The pitch for rural land on terms is that you get a markup plus interest, so a one-time flip tu…
First one, nothing signed yet, and I want the number for the day before the first resident moves in rather than the stabilized number everyone posts. What I have written down: Pur…
I own small multifamily and every unit I've added has taught me something, so I'm trying to read a 6-bed RAL the same way and it won't sit still. House is $520k in a decent suburb…
First LP position I've ever taken, in a 96 unit garden style property in a midsize southeast market. I came in at $65,000. My day job is construction, so the only part of the deal…
Bought 22 acres from an absentee owner in a rolling farm county, $31,000, seller had inherited it from an uncle and the last person to set foot on it was apparently a guy with a t…
I'm reading through a sample land contract someone posted and the interest rate line is the one I keep coming back to. The example had 9.5% on a $22,000 balance over 10 years. My…
I've been mostly a land and long-term rental guy, two rentals, so this was my one experiment with furnished. A 3/2 ranch about twenty minutes from a regional medical center, alrea…
Everything I read about mid-term rentals spends four paragraphs on the rent premium and one sentence on "marketing to the niche tenant base." That sentence is doing all the work a…
I have four of these running. Two sellers have now come back asking to be released from the mortgage because their lender is counting the payment against their DTI and it's blocki…
Closed this one in the spring and it has run seven months, so I'll write it up now while I still remember what scared me. The property. 1974 fourplex, four twos, tired but not dis…
Working two versions of the same deal and I can't decide which one I'd actually sign. $540k fourplex, three 2/1s and one 1/1, market rents on the three I'd be renting come to abou…
Working through a two-unit purchase and the loan officer keeps using the phrase "principal residence." My work has me out of state most weeks, sleeping in hotels, and I'd genuinel…
I put out a 285k first position note on a 31 site park, 62% of my own value opinion, 24 month term, monthly interest only. It didn't blow up, and I still got it wrong in a way I w…
An owner I'd been talking to for a year had a former furniture showroom sitting dark in an 18,400 sf six-bay strip. Fourteen months vacant at $14 psf NNN asking, three tours, no o…
My interest is lending rather than owning, and I've been reading about REITs mostly because it seemed like a way to get exposure to real estate credit without originating anything…
Read through the Nareit framing that the gap between REIT valuations and broader equities is as wide as it's been outside the financial crisis and the early pandemic, plus a REIT…
Looking at a first position mortgage offering on a crowdfunding portal. $10,000 minimum, 10.0% annual rate paid monthly, 12 month term with two 3-month extension options at the bo…
Trying to get straight what it actually costs to put money into one of these. One platform says $10 to start, another says $500, and the deal-by-deal ones I looked at said $25,000…
