I manage 140 units for a sponsor who has four syndications, and he asked if my team would take over the quarterly investor updates and answering LP emails. He'd pay a flat monthly…
First real private deal I did. $75,000 into a value-add multifamily fund in 2021, 216 units across two properties in a sunbelt secondary market. What sold me was the investor rela…
I've been mapping out what a 20 unit co-hosting book would look like before I take a single owner, and I keep landing on the same fork. Density in one submarket is the operational…
Third owner is signing and I still don't have a consistent way of getting paid. My first two are set up with the Airbnb co-host payout split, so my percentage lands in my account…
Two agencies quoted me and they're selling opposite things. The first says their people come out of a four week program on real estate terminology and the common CRMs, and they ch…
Our small service team is parked next to closings all week, so this question comes up from first time buyers constantly and I don't think the answer is obvious. In a lot of states…
Bought a 1,100 sf three bed in a tired but stable suburb last spring. It's rented now at $1,650 and the rehab finished at $39,400 against a $38,000 budget. Everything I read befor…
I do the construction reporting for a sponsor's LP letters. Photos, budget against contract, schedule slippage, that section of the update. Up to now I write it, he pastes it in,…
An agent I've been talking to says she'll send me two listings a month if I can turn photos around in 24 hours. Before I say yes I want to know what running this actually costs ev…
I've been shooting listings solo for five years, mostly photo plus a short vertical video, and I turned down eleven jobs in March because I couldn't be in two places. So I hired s…
Looking at a small content shop as a bolt-on. 18 retainer clients, blended $1,400 a month, $302k trailing revenue, owner draw $95k, two contract editors doing the edit volume. Sel…
Buyer list build, seven months of data, and I'm at the point where the next dollar has to go somewhere specific. Spend: $1,150 a month all in. That's $650 to a part-time editor at…
I bought a drone for the analysis-stage version of me who was going to photograph land I was thinking about buying. Now an agent I know says her seller would love an aerial of the…
Cosmetic flip, 1,650 square feet, three bed two bath in a decent school zone. All in at $268k, listed at $339k. My agent's photographer wanted $310 for a standard photo set. She t…
Working out my service offer while I finish getting licensed. Every systems consultant I've looked at prices one of two ways. Either a flat build, call it 3,000 to 8,000, hand ove…
I own six single family rentals in a rural county, purchase prices between $58k and $92k. Rents are $700 to $875. I'm the only person in this business. My wife handles the mail. I…
I ended up with a house I didn't want. Seller-financed note I'd bought at a discount, borrower stopped paying, and after a long stretch we took title through a deed in lieu. How t…
Bought a four unit last month, $585,000, small city, plan is a light rehab and hold. First real title mess I've been through, so writing it up for anyone who thinks the search is…
I've now heard both pitches from consultants on this, and I'm the one who'd be paying for it, so I want to hear how the people who build these things actually decide. First consul…
An owner I've known for a while wants to sell me 40 percent of her agency and step back over three years. She gave me two years of numbers and I've been staring at them for a week…
