Trying to work out the order of operations here and I keep going in a circle. Every dispo person I've messaged has some version of the same reply, which is send me the contract an…
I asked for a quote on a document package for my own use going forward: a purchase addendum, a lease with the state-specific disclosures for my market, and an assignment-of-rents…
I've got two small buildings, 11 units total, and 8 of them will turn over the next 14 months as leases roll. These are consistent turns: paint, LVP, one bath refresh, roughly $9,…
This is the argument I have most often with clients after five years of running a service business, and it never comes up until the build is nearly done. I can put the CRM, the ph…
Sat through a demo of a transaction platform yesterday. Date calendar builds itself off the executed contract, disclosure packets assemble from templates, e-sign status escalates…
Three weeks into a new investor account and the leads are coming in at $41 each, which is fine for the market. He called Monday annoyed that the leads are garbage. I pulled his ca…
I own a couple of small multifamily buildings and I'd like to find the next one off market instead of fighting six offers on the MLS. Called an agency about search ads. They said…
Running a small shop and this argument comes up internally every time we take on someone new with a modest budget, say $1,500 to $2,500 a month all in. Search is the obvious answe…
Duplex, seller's payoff is about $142,000 on a 3.25% note, asking $205,000, willing to carry the difference on a wrap so the underlying loan stays in place. I've been on the tools…
I'm buying rural land, mostly 10 to 80 acre parcels, with a mix of seller financing and purchase options. My deal count is going up and my legal line is going up faster. Quotes I…
Running the numbers on next year's mix for a small valuation practice and the two paths don't compare cleanly, so I'll lay out both and let the room argue. Panel work through mana…
I shoot my own rehabs for my records. Framing, mechanicals, the ugly parts, then the finished rooms. Nothing fancy, phone plus a cheap gimbal, but I've got a system because I've d…
Sat down with a listing agent about a duplex and she had clearly written her whole property description with AI. It read fine. Better than the last three descriptions I read, hone…
Reading through a deal package on a small multifamily syndication and there's a line I haven't seen broken out this way before. The sponsor charges a 2 percent acquisition fee, an…
Pitched on a package that's $2,500 a month for SEO with a six month minimum, and they were fairly blunt that paid ads turn off the moment the card stops. I've got a small portfoli…
First house I've gotten to the bid stage on after way too long looking. 1,450 square feet, 1978 build, three bed two bath, in a suburb where finished comps run $255k to $272k. Pur…
I do trim and cabinet work and lately two of my flipper clients have started asking me to "make it show ready" after punch list, which so far has meant me borrowing my sister in l…
Contract on a 6 unit brick walk-up in a second ring suburb, 610k, 21 day close. My own buyer list is 340 names and I have closed with maybe nine of them. Sent it Thursday, nothing…
I came at this from notes and paper and ended up bird dogging almost by accident, because the pre-foreclosure filings I was reading for note leads turned out to be worth more to h…
Five months, $9,300 total, 31 form fills, 4 conversations, zero notes bought. Writing it out because the failure was visible before I spent a dollar and I didn't look. The idea wa…
