Reading two proposals side by side. One says 6,000 dials a month. The other says 4 percent contact rate and doesn't mention dials at all. I've been mostly reading about notes and…
An operator I've known for two years runs a 9 seat calling service for investors and wants working capital. Not equity. He wants a facility against receivables, and I've spent a w…
I own a four unit and an eight unit and I've spent almost nothing on legal work. My closings were both handled by a title company because my state doesn't require an attorney at c…
Listing a small 4 unit next spring. Three units stay occupied through the sale, one tenant is out in March and the unit will be empty and freshly painted. My agent wants to stage…
I manage 61 doors for 22 owners. Every year two or three of them tell me some version of "I'm done, the last vacancy took the joy out of it." For four years I just nodded and re-l…
I want income that doesn't turn into a second job, which is why I've stayed on the property side. But someone I know reasonably well is selling half of his real estate media busin…
A photographer I know through an agent I've worked with is looking for money to buy a second 3D capture camera plus a laptop, call it $6,000 to $7,000, and pay it back out of shoo…
Working out how to pay for lead gen when I start buying, and every structure I look at breaks in a different place. Flat retainer plus ad spend is the standard. The agency gets pa…
I've got six passive positions across four sponsors, plus about a dozen sponsor relationships I want to keep warm for the next raise. Right now it's a spreadsheet, a folder tree,…
My first rental is close and I've been building out my screening process, criteria in writing, same questions for everyone, documented reasons for every decision. Someone in anoth…
No deals of my own yet, so when a friend listed her place I offered to handle the staging as practice. Figured I'd learn something and end up with inventory for later. Spent 1,900…
First attempt at a small duplex, $268,000, both sides rented. I went to a broker because two banks had already looked at me funny for being self-employed. He took my paperwork, as…
I do most of my looking in counties where the median sale is under $120k and a good rental buys at $65k. I've hired advice twice and both times the pricing conversation broke down…
I'm putting money behind a small acquisition program, single family rentals in one midwest metro, target purchase price $160k to $200k, aiming for eight to twelve closings over th…
Trying to figure out where the money goes in a deal and I keep landing on the buyer's agent line. If the buyer already knows the market, already has a rehab number from a contract…
I stopped taking per-job staging quotes in the spring. Four flips since then on one flat arrangement with one stager, so I'll put the numbers down. Before: three houses in the 240…
Reading two inspection agreements side by side for a property with a fair amount of connected equipment. Thermostats, four cameras, a leak sensor setup tied to a valve, a video do…
I've got two small rentals and I still buy most of my materials with a card in my truck. Got two quotes for monthly bookkeeping last week and they draw the line in completely diff…
I do HVAC work and one of my regular customers owns maybe fifteen rentals. He said he'd pay me $7,000 a house if I brought him ones he ended up buying, since I'm in basements all…
I'm not buying my first rental through this, I'm reading their paperwork because a friend asked me to and now I can't stop. The service pitches out-of-area buyers. Terms: $2,500 o…
