A seller I know was told her house needed staging, and what the agent actually did was tell her to box up half her family photos and move a bookcase to the garage. No furniture ar…
I've been on job sites for eleven years, so I can read a house. What I can't read is a purchase contract, and that's the whole reason I'm looking at agents at all. Two choices in…
Property A is a two bedroom condo in a beach market, about twenty five minutes from me. Last twelve months it did $41,200 in gross bookings, and $6,400 of that was cleaning fees t…
Land deals are what I usually do, and software subscriptions aren't a line item I'm used to paying. A friend with three condos asked whether I'd run them, and every co-hosting art…
I'm three weeks from my license exam and two agents I know from a local investor meetup have both asked if I'd coordinate their closings. Neither of them has ever used a TC. They…
Rural market, and my typical sale price is under $100k. Take a $95,000 sale at 2.5% to the listing side. That's $2,375 gross, and after the broker split there's roughly $1,600 lan…
I've narrowed to two shapes for a first purchase and they point in opposite directions. Shape one is a duplex about 50 minutes from me. Prices are higher, rent to price is worse,…
I'm three months into standing up a dispo service and the only asset that matters is the buyer list, so that's where the money has gone. Where I am now: Pulled cash-recorded deeds…
I have two parcels under contract, 11 acres and 4 acres, both rural, and I'd rather assign them than close and hold. Three of the people who advertise dispo services said outright…
Our coordinator asked me who files the report on an all-cash LLC purchase of a single-family rental, and I gave her one answer, then called two attorneys and got two more. The res…
Got off a call with an agency that wants to run seller ads for me so I can stop paying finder fees on rehab deals. The guy said "we're at $45 CPL in your market, CPA on signed con…
Building a buyer list and running my own seller acquisition ads, so I'm the client and the agency at once. Over the last 90 days I ran a split on creative production, because two…
Four years of mail and PPC leads sitting in a database. 14,200 records, of which maybe 9,000 have a phone number I'd call good. All of them said no or went dark at some point. Cur…
I have one of the big real estate CRMs, the plan is around $400 a month, and I went and looked at what I actually use in it. Contacts, notes, and a search box. That's it. No seque…
I mostly look at deals from the capital side and I don't usually pay for marketing, so this was new to me and I got it wrong in an ordinary way. A partner and I had a 19 acre parc…
Looking at a subdivision deal as a limited partner and the marketing budget has one line reading "aerial package, $4,500." Everything else in that budget is itemized down to sign…
I said in this room a while back that I was going to stop analyzing and buy something. I bought six things over fourteen months, small residential, two of them off market. What I…
Coming into this with no portfolio and no license, so all I have to sell is the finding. Two people I have talked to run it completely differently and both are getting paid. The f…
I got a vendor pricing sheet from a field services company and I'm trying to figure out where the trap is before I sign it. Debris removal is priced per cubic yard with a cap on t…
A servicer's regional vendor coordinator sent me a work order for a 1,450 square foot single story that got repossessed in the fall. Photos show maybe half the house furnished, a…
