Six months, $18,400 all in, and the failure was a sentence of ad copy I approved without thinking about it. I came at seller leads from the renovation side, so my underwriting sta…
I wanted the boring version that works, and I talked myself into believing the cheapest option was the boring one. One single family rental, market rent around $1,650. I got quote…
I've been asked to price cleanouts on a batch of 12 units for a manager who takes back a steady number of them after eviction. Scope reads as debris removal and a make-ready clean…
My first rental is a two bed one bath, about 900 square feet, and the tenants gave notice for the end of March. They've been fine, rent always on time, and from what I saw at the…
I manage 41 doors, mostly small multifamily plus a dozen single family. Seven of those owners sold in the last 24 months, and in five of the seven the tenant moved out and the own…
I've been going back and forth on which side of this business to try, and staging keeps coming up because it looks like the cheapest thing to start. Two stagers in my area adverti…
Still finishing my license, so I've been picking up shoots on weekends to have some cash coming in while I study. Saturday was the first one someone actually paid me for. A 1,600…
Shutting this one down, so here's what it cost. The idea: wholesalers I already did marketing work for kept complaining that their phone numbers were bad. I had a decent pipeline…
I've got one small rental going live in the spring and I've been reading everything twice, which is how I found this room. Two providers have come up in my research at pretty diff…
Contract at $182,000, buyer at $221,000, so $39,000 gross. Buyer's agent saw the assignment amount on the draft statement and now they want a double close so their client isn't st…
I've built the model out four ways and I keep landing in the same uncomfortable place, so I want other eyes before I commit to this instead of buying my own deals. Setup: two acqu…
Someone in a local investor group posted asking whether a 0.4 acre corner lot could take four units under the current code, and got eleven guesses in the comments. I messaged him…
I spent fourteen years doing site selection and trade area analysis for a grocery chain, mostly drive time modeling, cannibalization studies, and go/no-go on individual boxes. Lef…
14 units across three small buildings. My actual problem was never leads, it was that I found out someone was leaving when they told me they were leaving, usually 30 days out, and…
I took on a trainee in August. My state requires supervised hours before he can sign anything on his own, and the hour count and the co-signature rules vary by state, so anyone re…
I finished 900 square feet of basement myself, permits pulled, egress window, proper heat. House shows 1,600 above grade. The appraisal came back describing it as 1,600 square fee…
A residential appraisal firm in a mid-size metro is for sale. Two certified residential appraisers, both owners, one trainee about 700 hours into supervised experience. Broker pac…
Wanted to test whether I could do content myself before paying anyone. Two months, mostly evenings and Sundays. I tracked hours because I track everything, and it came to 61 hours…
Spent $1,120 with a per-lead shop, took 40 leads, worked every one myself. Two got to an offer, both went cold on price. What I think happened is that per-lead pricing pays them t…
Posting this while it's fresh. I set up a small texting operation last year, signed three investor clients on $900 a month retainers, and shut it down in month four. What I spent.…
