Numbers on the table from an agency proposal I'm reviewing. $6,000 monthly retainer, 15% of media spend, $18,000 media spend. That's $26,700 out the door monthly. Their own case-s…
An agency told me I can't run ads to my own site because the page is slow and has nothing on it that asks for a phone number, and quoted $650 to build a landing page for one 40 ac…
Been building this slowly for about seven months and I've reached the part where I have to pick a business model, which I've been avoiding. What exists: 240,000 owner records acro…
Ten week paid search test for off market small rentals in a secondary market, run with a partner who has done this before and a freelancer who set up the account. Budget was $6,40…
Spec build, 3,100 sq ft, finishing in about five weeks. Stager came back with the agreement and I'm stuck on a few clauses before I sign. Terms: 9,800 install for 11 spaces, 90 da…
Getting quotes for a friend's listing and the spread is wide. One stager said $3,900 for a vacant three bed, two bath, about 1,700 square feet, covering the main living room, dini…
I'm getting ready to list a piece of vacant land, gently rolling, mostly cleared, a seasonal creek along one edge. Nothing on it. No structures, no driveway, one gate. A local sho…
Small deal, four of us in an LLC buying a 1960s six unit in a second tier market for $612k. Cash portion from members, the rest from a local bank at 70 percent. I was the one hand…
Two small houses, both owned in my own name, both with conventional loans on them. Attorney quoted $1,900 for the whole package: form the LLC, operating agreement, two deeds, plus…
Wrote this up because I was the guy in every thread saying I was still in analysis. I finally did something and it went badly. Seller had a 3.1% loan, $214k balance, on a 1,400 sq…
I have been mapping how the land guys I follow structure their lead delivery and there are two camps that both look defensible on paper, so I want to see where this room lands. Ca…
Read three consulting proposals for a portfolio review this month. All three had the same structure. Data gathering, stakeholder interviews, scenario modeling, findings presentati…
Sat in on a call yesterday where someone was introduced as a real estate consultant and I spent the whole hour not understanding what he was for. He didn't sell anything, he wasn'…
Owners call me every week wanting out from under a rental, and I've been handing the ones who'd rather sell than keep managing to two investors I've worked with. No money has chan…
I kept pitching this thing to clients for five years at my small marketing shop, and I finally built it myself. Seller submits a property through a landing page, answers eight que…
I've been charging $250 flat for what I call the standard aerial: 8 to 10 edited stills plus a 60 second clip cut to music, delivered next day. Agents keep asking me to fold it in…
Four agents in the last two months have asked me for aerial as part of a photo package and I've had to say no every time. Two of them went and hired somebody who did the whole sho…
Small mixed-use building, two retail bays and four apartments over. Seller had a pre-listing inspection done six weeks before I got there, 38 pages, photos, a roof section that re…
I hold land and long rentals and I don't normally sell services. This one came out of a favor. Someone I've known for years bought six units in a mid-size college market over two…
Portfolio is 12 listings across two markets. Eight in my home city, four in a beach town 90 minutes out. Average gross per listing is around $62k, I'm at 18% on ten of them and 15…
