Our group buys small multifamily across four states and I do the underwriting, almost all of it in single purpose LLCs, and a meaningful share is non-financed. The FinCEN resident…
Five years running lead gen as a service. Nine investor clients, $2,500 a month each, and every one of them wants my time on calls I've already had. I want out of the retainer mod…
I built this for myself. Three counties, small multifamily and 1-4 unit owners, 38,000 records refreshed monthly. Filters that actually matter: tax delinquent two cycles or more,…
I'm $75k into a $12m entitlement fund, 41 LPs, three parcels on the edge of a growing secondary market. The plan was rezoning and a sale to builders, five to seven year hold, no c…
Draft services agreement in front of me for taking over investor relations for a sponsor with about $40M across four funds. Two clauses I'm stuck on. The fee is 15 bps of assets u…
I'm sketching out how a lead platform should get paid and the two ends of the range behave completely differently. Seats. Say $299 a month per investor for access to a filtered fe…
I run rehabs and I wanted a steady flow of seller appointments without me on the phone. Set up an appointment setting desk through an agency in November: two dialers at $11/hr ful…
Ran the comparison after my bookkeeper raised rates. Monthly close on six doors plus two active flips, my quote is $520 a month. Quarterly close on the same volume came back at $1…
Owner has a 96-unit 1980s garden complex, 71% occupied, in-place rents about 380 under a comp set I don't fully trust. They want advice on whether to reposition or sell as-is. Sco…
A local developer I did subcontract work for years ago called me about a 40 unit infill project that's stalled at permit-plus-nothing. His GC pricing came in around 12% over the n…
I run three inspectors. Purchase inspections mostly, a few pre-listing walks. One of them narrates the entire thing. Buyers follow him around, he explains the panel, he explains w…
Planning four flips next year in a fairly narrow band, 180k to 260k, mostly 1,300 to 1,700 sq ft. Every quote I get for staging lands between 3,200 and 3,900 all in, so call it 14…
Working through whether staging earns its keep on a resale and the arithmetic feels too easy, which usually means I've left something out. List price $415,000. Stager quoted $3,50…
Land parcel, 68 acres, mostly wooded with about 11 acres of cleared pasture and a gravel access easement. County reassessed it and moved the value up 41 percent in one cycle, whic…
I'm getting ready to put money into a first rental and I've spent the last month just making phone calls. Two credit unions, a regional bank, and one online lender that does DSCR…
Two owners I did renovation work for want me running their units next season, and both drafts I've been sent handle pricing completely differently. One says I set rates at my disc…
My agent uses a coordinator and sent me her client agreement to sign as part of onboarding on a small purchase. I read it twice because that's what I do, and three clauses bother…
Working through the numbers on a coordination practice that's at capacity. Say 34 open files at any time, 13 closings a month, flat $400 per file, so about $5,200 a month gross fr…
Looking at putting money into a small agent-marketing outfit and the revenue mix is bothering me. Roughly $40k a month recurring. Two brokerage teams are about 60% of that on annu…
A small house I'd been trying to help a relative sell, three bedroom one bath on 1.4 acres in a town of about 2,800 people, listed at $118,000. Four months on the market, six show…
