An agent I talked to said she pays about $400 a month to a marketing person who does her listing presentations and her social posts. I don't know what a listing presentation is be…
The ingestion side of my seller lead platform is held together with a scheduled scraper, a Zapier chain, an Airtable base and two Google Sheets doing work no sheet should do. It h…
I've been looking at small rentals in a rural county for a while and a few people who own land out here have started asking me what I think about their properties, mostly because…
Followup to the market summary question I posted a while back. That job happened, badly priced, and it turned into something. The original $600 became a $2,900 fixed scope once we…
Finished the 90 day review on this one last week so the numbers have settled enough to be worth posting. Client is a wholesaling operation, three acquisitions people plus one disp…
I'm most of the way through the licensing course and the brokerage I'm interviewing with sent over their vendor sheet. Their photographer does $185 for anything under 2,000 square…
I manage 22 doors for three owners and we shoot every unit that turns. My photographer charges $185 for a standard set, about 25 images, delivered next day. Last year we turned 14…
Full gut on a 2,100 sf two story, 148k of scope, and I was chasing a listing date because the agent had a broker open on the calendar. Punch list was at maybe 30 items when I let…
I've been planning this purchase for over a year and financing was the part I was most afraid of, so I want to write down what actually happened. Small three bedroom, $268,000 pur…
Raw land, three parcels, no income at all. What actually moves through the accounts in a month is a property tax payment, an occasional mowing invoice, sometimes a survey or a tit…
I've been shooting turn units for a couple of small landlords and the occupied ones are where my process falls apart. One owner wants media 30 days before lease end so he can pre-…
I've been trying to figure out which acquisition channel actually fits me and cold calling was winning on volume and losing on cost. Last spring I ran three VA dialers at $10.50/h…
I've been circling flips for a while because the numbers on paper look better than anything else I can find, but I don't want a second job and I definitely don't want to swing a h…
Two things landed on me in the same week and I have to answer both by the end of the month. Offer one. A flipper doing about 20 houses a year wants me as an in-house project manag…
Sold a side-by-side duplex last quarter, 1970s, both units 2/1, one tenant-occupied on a lease with 8 months left and one vacant since a move-out in the fall. Basis was 196k, I li…
Small thing but it cost me and I would rather write it down. I paid a two person shop $600 a month for two months to run Facebook lead ads pointing at private lending, mostly to s…
A year ago I bought two small seller-financed notes at a discount. Both are single family, both performing, combined payments a bit under $1,400 a month. I had no idea how to reco…
Following on from my dumpster question. I did the cleanout myself over two weekends and before anything went in the can I pulled out anything metal. What came out: the riding mowe…
Two agents sent proposals for the same property. One just says full marketing program included. The other itemizes: photography, floor plan, property site, social campaign, print.…
I do land and I read parcel files for fun, so when a two-broker land shop asked if I'd write what they were calling "the sheet you keep sending me," I turned it into a retainer in…
