First rental, a small three-bed in a working-class part of town, bought early last year. I wanted to do this properly so I hired a bookkeeper off a marketplace at $180 a month. Sh…
Mid renovation on a 1920s two story, roof came off the back addition, and I've been flying a $700 drone over it twice a week so I have a record of the framing and the flashing det…
Transitional ag parcel, 31 acres, edge of a growing suburb where the sewer line stops about 900 feet short of the north property boundary. I've been sitting on it since a 1031 lan…
I'm mostly reading about notes so property paper is new to me, but a friend forwarded a sourcing agreement to see if I could follow it and one clause stopped me. It says the sourc…
Buying an 18 acre parcel and the seller's marketing had a drone video plus about a dozen aerials, and the listing agent mentioned the seller paid $600 for it. The video is genuine…
Small mixed-use building, two retail bays downstairs and four apartments up, in a secondary market. I was the money on this one with a local operating partner. My whole job is und…
I mostly read about notes and lending, so this is not my area at all, but a friend asked me to look at a co-hosting proposal for her condo and I got stuck on the first line. The a…
Ran the numbers on this over the weekend and I still can't get comfortable either way, so I'll put it to the room. We closed 61 files last year, 44 of them investor deals on the p…
I manage about ninety units and I've been writing up the leasing side of it for a year, mostly because I got tired of explaining the same showing script. Enough people have asked…
Five years in and I'd always treated title as the buyer's side of the fence. Changed that this spring after a listing died at day 34 over an old lien, which cost me the fee and th…
Adding a pre-listing inspection product looked easy on paper. Sellers want to know what's coming, they'd rather find the bad news themselves, and I already had the inspector relat…
First house I ever sold, small three bed, and I wanted to do it properly so I hired a stager. I told her my budget was around 2,000 and she asked which rooms mattered most. I said…
Got two management proposals on a small portfolio and I can't make them line up. First one: 8 percent of collected rent, $0 setup, one full month for a new tenant placement, $200…
Every unit teaches something and this one is teaching me about my own time. 22 units across three small multifamily buildings, all within nine miles. Gross scheduled $24,500 a mon…
Somebody asked me this week and I gave a muddier answer than I wanted to, so putting it to the room. A buyer signs a contract, and there's usually a title or settlement company al…
License paperwork is nearly through and I have two directions in front of me that I can't run at the same time with three guys. Direction one is investor work only. Repeat clients…
The sponsor I contract for had 88 LP entities across three deals and no reporting cadence at all. Updates went out when something happened, which averaged one every five months, a…
Eight weeks, $1,900, cap of eight seats, aimed at people buying $50k to $90k houses in towns under 5,000 people. I've run it twice. Gross across both cohorts was $30,400. Three re…
I research land and holding patterns, and I've started testing what a general AI model actually gets right about my area. I asked it to walk me through a lot split, what a percola…
Right now I do flyers, a social set, and a listing description rewrite for individual agents. $180 a listing, no contract, they text me when they get one. Nine agents use me at le…
