Looking at low price point houses in a county where there's essentially one title and abstract office. Everybody uses them because there is nobody else. Their fee sheet came back…
Numbers first, then tell me what's wrong with them. Note A: 11 percent, 2 points, 6 month term. Note B: 12.5 percent, 1 point, 12 month term. Both $150k, interest only, paid month…
I've been comparing two structures on the same kind of asset and they produce completely different risks rather than different returns. Structure one is all cash. A 78,000 sf buil…
Two buildings in front of me in a small market three hours from anything institutional. First one: 1985 build, 22 foot clear, four dock doors, 19,000 square feet, one tenant payin…
I've been sitting in on scope walks with two different crews this spring and they price materials risk in opposite directions, which makes it hard for me to tell what normal even…
I'm finishing up licensing and I've got two possible directions in front of me, and people I trust are split down the middle. Option one is joining a small advisory shop. Three pe…
I've been sitting in on vendor demos for the new UAD format, the one in broad production since January with mandatory use coming November 2 this year, and I can't work out which d…
Small market deal, 11 units, all in around 640k with the lender covering the rest, so the equity need is roughly 260k. I have interest from enough people to fill it either way, wh…
I've been reading pref equity summaries for a couple of months and one line keeps stopping me. The pref investor doesn't get a mortgage on the property. You get a membership inter…
I ran this two ways this month and I can't decide which column I believe. Column one. Distressed three-bed, 110k purchase, 40k rehab, all in around 158k with carry and closing. Re…
I'm about two thirds through the pre-license coursework and I have four vacant houses on a street near me that nobody seems to be doing anything about. Two have notices taped in t…
I've been sitting in on calls with heirs to learn the language, and the same moment keeps coming up. Somebody asks what the house would sell for on the open market, and there's a…
I've got $50k set aside that I'm willing to have locked up for five years, and I've been reading LP deals for about four months. The minimum on most of what I see is $50k, so one…
Two things crossed my desk in the same submarket and they're basically opposite ends of the same building type, so I want to hear where the room lands. Option one is the fee inter…
I run a handful of small multifamily units and the rent covers the debt with room to spare, so the question of where the surplus goes comes up every quarter. The case for putting…
Looking at buying into a small aerial operation as something I own without running day to day, and the revenue mix is where I keep stalling out. What I was shown for last year, si…
I am pricing my first furnished unit, a two bedroom, and the part I cannot decide is utilities. Every corporate listing I read says all inclusive. My gas bill on this building las…
31 unit garden style, bought three years ago, 8 percent preferred return paid quarterly. Renewal came back 41 percent higher on premium, and between that and two extended vacancie…
Been comparing the governance sections of five LPAs I've either signed or declined, and the thing that stands out is how rarely LPs get more than one real protection. Sponsors wil…
Something I can't resolve from the outside, and the broker owners I've asked give confident answers in opposite directions. If you're standing up a ten agent shop today, you're pi…
