Do small rehab crews keep people with hourly or with per job pay?
I've had coffee with two crew owners in the last month and they run the same size outfit with opposite answers, so I want to see how the room splits. The first one pays $28 an hou…

Real comparison off my list this month. A fourplex in a small town, 4,000 people, one large employer, 185k asking, four units renting 575 to 650. Gross around 29k. And a duplex in…
I've been collecting consent-to-dual-agency and designated agency forms from brokerages in two states and reading them against each other, because the marketing language around de…
This is the question I get asked most by people who've never built improvements before, and the answers I hear from experienced developers split about evenly, so I'll put it to th…
I want boring income and no second job. Two paths keep coming up and they seem to point opposite directions. One: buy a single-tenant building outright, national chain in it, trip…
The service business had a good year and after taxes and payroll I have about 180k sitting in an account doing nothing much. I want a rental. I've read enough to know what I'm loo…
I brought numbers and I want to know what's wrong with them. Same file, two models. A $94,000 balance on a small single family in a stable secondary market, as-is value $112,000,…
Working through a wrap on a small three unit and I keep landing on two versions of the same deal. Version A: sale at 340k, 10k down, wrap balance 330k at 8 percent. Underlying is…
California's Assembly Bill 1850 was introduced in February 2026 to define wholesaling and require a license for it. As of mid 2026 it hadn't cleared committee, so this isn't law a…
Property taxes nationally are pushing toward $400 billion and homeowner costs keep climbing, insurance especially. That should mean more delinquent parcels and a bigger sale list…
Two operators I trust do this opposite ways and both close consistently, so I want to see where this room lands. One of them tells the seller the number. Signs the contract, then…
Beginner framing because I get asked this every month by owners who are new to furnished, and I do not think the room agrees on it. Corporate furnished usually includes some level…
I'm building my first list and I've stalled on the very first filter, parcel size, because the two people I've asked gave me opposite answers with the same confidence. Case for sm…
I've been working through the interest rate hedging disclosures on a handful of agency-focused mREITs and the range of approaches is wider than I expected for what's supposedly a…
I'm building a list of small houses to rehab and I expect at least a few of them to sell with me carrying the paper, because plenty of my likely buyers won't clear a bank right no…
I've been trying to work out where to put my time on the dispo side and the two answers point opposite directions. The relationship answer: the asset is 30 buyers who pick up on t…
Two term sheets on my desk, both value-add multifamily, similar markets, similar leverage, similar stated hold of five years. Deal A: 8% preferred return, cumulative and compoundi…
Working through what a first ground-up costs and I've noticed everyone has a different tripwire. Some people say untrended yield on cost, some say the spread over where they think…
I've done it both ways and both hurt, so I want to see how this room splits. The GC version: you pay a markup, usually 15 to 25 percent on top of the subs, sometimes more on a gut…
The ingestion side of my seller lead platform is held together with a scheduled scraper, a Zapier chain, an Airtable base and two Google Sheets doing work no sheet should do. It h…
