Full gut on a 1950s ranch, cabinets are 3 weeks out, and the agent wants photos now to start building interest. Her suggestion was shoot the empty kitchen and have the photographe…
Been doing photo work part time for about eight months while I figure out whether the investing side or the service side is where I actually belong. Current numbers: 11 to 14 shoo…
I buy small second liens, mostly $30k to $90k balances, and through last year I was taking whatever value the seller had in the file. Usually an automated value, occasionally a tw…
I ran the experiment I'd been talking about for months. Two agents, one small investor, 14 files over about five months, flat $300 per file, paid at close. Nine closed, three fell…
I have been sitting in on a wholesaler's dispo calls for about six weeks and he does it two different ways depending on who he is talking to. With his regular buyers he tells them…
Under contract on a 4-unit and my agent mentioned in passing that her transaction coordinator charges $450 and it'll show up on my closing statement. I had assumed a coordinator w…
Small duplex, $186,000, my first financed purchase instead of cash from a partner. I hired a transaction coordinator because everyone said that's how you stop dropping dates. A TC…
I move slowly and I know it. Two years of looking, no purchase, mostly because the small multifamily I want at the price I want doesn't come to market in my county more than a few…
I want income that doesn't turn into a second full-time thing, and this looked like the closest fit on the service side because there's no capital required. The structure I've bee…
Started posting in June while my coursework was still in progress. The plan was to have an audience ready the day my license came through so I wouldn't be starting from zero. What…
Trying to understand these companies as businesses and I keep running into the software question without a straight number attached. Everything points at AppFolio or Buildium, and…
Renovation is my side of the business, so I assumed I'd be the last person to get taken on turn costs. Wrong in an instructive way. Setup: I finished a heavy rehab on an 8 unit an…
I've been costing out what it would take to fund a small lead operation properly, and I keep landing on a question I can't resolve from the outside. The data version: a list subsc…
I've been trying to build a model for content spend and I keep producing two models that disagree with each other, so I'll put both up rather than pick. Model one treats content a…
An agent handling a bank-owned house asked me to price a trash-out. I quoted it the way I'd quote a move-out cleaning, hourly plus supplies, and she came back asking for a cubic y…
Packet landed Tuesday and I've been costing it out all week. Terms as written: initial secure and trash-out at $38 per cubic yard, capped at 45 yards per work order unless I submi…
If I'm going to find houses for other people's money, I want to know what the overhead actually is before I quote anyone a fee. What I think I need: some kind of list pulling soft…
I've been assigning on my own account for three years and the spread is getting squeezed, so I'm moving toward getting paid for the sourcing itself. One client, a small fund buyin…
A small team lost their in-house coordinator with two weeks' notice in the middle of their busiest stretch. I picked up 11 active files at $325 each, flat, invoiced at close, on a…
Building out a list of who I'd need if I actually start buying, and I've got two names for what looks like one job. The title company has a closer who handles the settlement state…
