Two of the owners we work with are moving units to furnished 30 day minimums, and since my small service team handles those turnovers, I've spent the last few weeks trying to figu…
I own a small rental through an LLC I control. The idea I had was to sell it to my IRA at an appraised price so the future rent grows tax-deferred. Cash changes hands at market va…
Getting my license this year and a family friend asked me to help him buy a duplex inside his self-directed Roth. He's serious, has about $340k in the account, and wants to close…
I've turned eleven units across small buildings in the last three years and I still argue with myself about this one. The standardized version: one paint, one floor, one cabinet d…
I had 85k sitting from a business payout and had narrowed most of it to a public non-traded NAV REIT. The exit was the part I couldn't get comfortable with, so I bought a small sl…
Two houses I looked at this month and they are almost opposites. The first is a licensed 6-bed with all six beds filled. The seller wants a number that works out to roughly the ho…
Closed on a 4 bed 2 bath last year, decent street, mid-size city, no HOA. Whole house lease would have been around $1,850. I filled four rooms at $675, so $2,700, and I furnished…
Trying to work out where a service business could sit around this, and the licensing part keeps stopping me. For a normal rental I understand you mostly need a landlord policy. Fo…
I'm three rungs in and the qualification problem is now bigger than the deal problem. The first two houses are on owner-occupant loans at rates I will never see again. Third one c…
A sponsor deck I was reading showed a parcel bought at about $4,000 an acre and modeled the resulting lots at $9,000 an acre. Same dirt, same road frontage, and the only thing tha…
Sponsor I've done one small deal with wants $220,000 of preferred capital at 11% accrued, no current pay, into an 86 acre split. I built the model off his assumptions and then sta…
Closing attorney's suggestion on a house I'm working: deed into a land trust with the seller as the initial beneficiary, then she assigns the beneficial interest to me at closing.…
I set up the closing coordination side of a few creative deals for other people and now I've got four of these files where the buyer is self-servicing, meaning he logs into the se…
I wanted rent that showed up without a second job. In 2023 I put $85k into a syndication on a three story suburban office, roughly 62,000 sf, bought at what everyone described as…
I don't want a second job. A land planner I called quoted $6,500 to take a 22 acre parcel through a minor subdivision into four lots, and said that excludes the survey, the county…
I'm looking at a $310,000 first position private mortgage on 46 acres, offered to me as a $100,000 participation. Borrower's plan is five lots. I'd rather understand this than own…
Working through a small furnished unit and I keep landing on two different models for the same building, which means one of them is wrong. Model one prices it as what it is. Furni…
19 acres at $84k. Taxes plus a once-a-year mowing contract run about $1,400. That part I can absorb without noticing. What I can't get comfortable with is that the purchase would…
I've been reading two small park listings side by side for a month now and the difference that keeps stopping me isn't the site count. One has a three bedroom house at the front,…
Everything the account gives you on the income side, it takes back on the deduction side, and I don't see this discussed much when people compare an IRA rental to the same rental…
