Sponsors genuinely split on this one, so it is worth seeing where the room lands. Situation shape: a property loses a chunk of occupancy in the second month of a quarter. Not a ca…
A standard rate card often covers a license to use images to market one listing, delivered as edited JPEGs, with the photographer keeping the files. That arrangement tends to hold…
For a mail and inbound operation, the number that decides everything is whether someone talked to the seller before the lead goes out the door. Raw inbound with a name and a numbe…
I own land and one small house I've held for six years. An inspector I met at a county thing pitched me on what he calls a maintenance inspection. Same walk-through as a purchase…
Deep in diligence on a 120 site park at 4.2M, seller's NOI 372k, so call it 8.8 going in. Good corridor location with a state park eight miles away. The revenue side holds up unde…
16 acres, listed a while, frontage on two roads, priced at about $7,500 an acre. The listing says "possible split" which I've learned means nothing. The county ordinance is online…
I got dragged into a hotel walk because a friend of a friend needed someone to hold a tape measure. 140 keys, select service, built 2007, off a highway interchange that used to be…
Owner-occupant financing requires living in the property for a minimum period, commonly around a year, and what to do once that clock expires is one of the more genuinely debated…
A useful case to work through: 32 licensed AL units, single story, 2004 build, asking $4.6M, so $144k a door. T-12 revenue $1.9M against T-12 expenses of $1.72M, trailing NOI abou…
This is the question I'd have been too embarrassed to ask out loud. Every article about residential assisted living talks about it as a real estate strategy, and then somewhere in…
The sector can stay abstract no matter how much gets read about it, until someone drives out to actually look at one. What is usually there is a long gray box with no windows, a f…
Consider a small older four unit building, all two bed units, under contract at $560,000, where the appraisal comes back at $489,000 and the loan dies on it. Costs like the apprai…
Take a pad site, roughly 0.9 acres in front of a grocery anchor, asking $410k, zoned for retail, marketed as suitable for an owner-user or small developer. Most commercial develop…
Land is 3.1 acres, entitled for a 34,000 sf light industrial shell on the edge of a distribution corridor in a mid-size metro. I control it at $780k with closing tied to loan clos…
An investor I know through my exam prep group asked me to bring my contacts to his deals. His offer is 30% of whatever assignment fee he collects, and he says I never touch the co…
Two wholesalers in the same metro want me running disposition for them once my license clears, probably six weeks out. Combined they put 9 to 12 houses a month under contract. The…
I hold land and small long positions and I've been reading here for a while, and the advice splits cleanly enough that I want to see the vote. One camp says do a performing note f…
I do fast deals normally, so a ten year hold is the opposite of everything I usually do. Writing this for people who are where I was in March, which is having a gain and no idea w…
I've had a $145k gain sitting from a business sale since the spring and no strong opinion about where it should go. I ended up building a one page checklist and running every fund…
I've been reading a gap funding term sheet that a lender publishes as an example, and two lines on the same page seem to point in different directions. One says the loan is secure…
