Nine parcels, 4 to 38 acres, three rural counties, all bought to hold. Two are listed at any given time and the rest sit. In March I put a content person on a retainer. $1,800 a m…
I shoot walkthrough video for three agents. $350 a listing, tripod and gimbal, one vertical cut plus a 90 second horizontal edit. One of them asked me to come down to $200 because…
Two people have offered to handle dispo for me when I get something under contract, and I have no way to tell which offer is worth more. The first sends a monthly email to a list…
Small portfolio, and I've always taken my own listing photos to save money. Two bedroom unit, $1,450 a month, and I shot it on my phone at 4pm on a Thursday because that's when th…
I've been logging my time to the quarter hour since I picked up the second client, and the log is telling me something I don't want to hear. Client A: 90 LPs across two apartment…
$1.1M call on a 2021 bridge deal. Rate cap expires in five months and the money is the extension quote plus a reserve top-up the lender wants sized. 42 LPs. The operating agreemen…
I hold land and long-term rentals and I've been prospecting owners directly for six years, so I've watched my own connect rate slide from something like 11 percent down to under 4…
Signed nothing yet. The agency sent an onboarding sheet and it has: CRM $99/mo, call tracking $45/mo plus $0.03 a minute, landing page builder $99/mo, skip trace credits billed as…
$4,180 of spend later I have something I can actually plan against, which is more than I could say in January. Setup: I buy vacant parcels, 5 to 40 acres, in four counties that ar…
I'm a few deals in and my ceiling right now is that I can't tell a good number from a hopeful one fast enough. Two people have suggested I get an appraisal license so I stop payin…
Duplex, both sides 2/1, bought it 26 months ago at 318k and put roughly 71k into it. New roof, both kitchens, one full electrical rework, exterior paint and a rebuilt rear stair.…
My market is rural, small counties, price points under $120k, and the owner universe is small enough that I can name most of it. Last year my vendor was getting a live conversatio…
I've got overflow. My own acquisitions can work maybe 20 seller conversations a week and I'm generating closer to 35, so the rest go stale on a spreadsheet. Two local investors ha…
I have a list of 41 names I scraped from courthouse records and a few meetups, and roughly six of them have ever told me a real buy box. I am not under contract on anything yet, s…
The aerial photographer's agreement in front of me says he retains copyright and grants me a license to use the images "for the duration of the listing." I'm the seller paying the…
I'd rather pay for something that just works without me having to become an expert, so I've been asking around about aerial for a listing next spring. Two answers keep coming back…
Every couple weeks somebody on a job site sends me a picture of a house. Mail piled up, tarp on the roof that's been there two winters, grass to the window sill. They send it to m…
I bought a 2/2 condo in a small ski adjacent town and a 3/1 bungalow twenty minutes from a regional hospital, and I never had any intention of running either myself. I interviewed…
