Most of my marketing work over the years has been for agents, and I run a small shop. An investor found me through an agent client and wants seller lead gen in a metro I've never…
Twenty-six files. Eight closings. Two fee splits that actually landed in my account. The setup was supposed to be simple. I do a lot of talking to small investors in my area, and…
Quote in front of me on a $480k cash-out refi of a rental held in an LLC. Broker fee 2 points, plus a $1,495 processing fee, and the lender's term sheet separately shows 1.5 origi…
I do fast flips, thin margins, and I've been writing my own listing copy forever because paying for it never penciled. An agent I've closed two deals with asked if I'd write copy…
A deck I was sent described this as asset light, start for under $1,000, which I don't believe. I read paper and notes normally, so I always look first for where the cash gap sits…
I do renovation work and I'm now on the investing side, and the part that's killing me is scheduling. Six trades, none of them answer the phone at the same time, and I spend my ev…
First rental, 1970s three bed on a slab. I paid $525 for the general inspection and another $175 for the sewer scope, and I asked the inspector if I could follow him for the three…
I built my own dispatch and follow-up flow over about two years because I was losing quotes I never followed up on. Nothing fancy. Every quote over $2,000 gets a text at day 2, da…
I run leasing and maintenance coordination for a small portfolio and an owner asked me to "set up the CRM" so tenant inquiries stop falling through. When I asked what he had, he s…
A listing agent I do trim and cabinet work for asked if I'd walk her sellers' houses a week before listing and hand them a written punch list. Her pitch is that she gets fewer sur…
I manage 140 doors and I've been pricing out an annual condition walk on every unit, roughly $180 a visit with photos and a punch list. Two things are stopping me. First, if I hir…
We run a small service crew and I've been pricing out adding staging as a second line, mostly for two flippers we already do work for. Called our broker to ask what would change o…
The lease is 2,400 square feet at 1,900 a month, three year term, personal guarantee, plus about 400 a month in utilities and insurance based on what the landlord's other tenant t…
Client signed a twelve month agreement in January, verbal plan was to go from two dedicated callers to six by March. They were already 62 percent of my revenue at two seats. At si…
I run two vendors against the same two counties, pre-foreclosure plus high-equity absentee. Vendor A bills $1.10 per contracted contact, vendor B $0.95. I finally pulled both supp…
Two numbers in this room don't fit together for me. A single family appraisal is $300 to $600, and AVMs or property condition reports already sit on something like 35 to 45 percen…
Under contract on a 1,280 square foot house on 6 acres in a county with maybe 90 arms-length sales a year. Contract price 148k, cash-out purchase money loan behind it, so the lend…
I hold LP positions in nine syndications plus two note funds and I wanted one place to see deal flow, sponsor communications, distribution history, and where the tax documents wer…
Sponsor had 140 LP entities and every quarter the distribution run produced returned ACH payments. Q1 was 16 failures out of 141 payments, so 11%. Each failure cost roughly 25 min…
I move slowly and I've spent about four months interviewing agents before committing to one. Down to two and I've hit something I don't know how to weigh. Agent A: eleven years, w…
