I've done trade work for fifteen years and I'm buying a house to renovate and resell for the first time. Purchase 182k, renovation I've scoped at 58k doing most of the work myself…

I have roughly $620k earmarked for a land allocation and two live options that behave nothing alike. Option one is direct. Around 70 tillable acres in a single county, priced near…
I've been driving for dollars for four months and finally got a real conversation. Vacant looking ranch, overgrown, mail piled behind the screen. Owner called me back from three s…
I've been circling a small independent brokerage in a secondary market for about four months and the seller finally sent real numbers instead of a summary page. What I have: 12 li…

Two pieces of office vocabulary that do not line up for people coming from land and other asset classes, and they are worth settling. Every market report says prime office is tigh…
I hold land and wait, so office is off my map. This one landed anyway and I've spent three weeks on it instead of the pasture I was supposed to be looking at. The asset: 78,000 sq…
Three bed one and a half bath, 1,340 square feet, built 1962, sound roof and a furnace from 2019. Seller wants 148 and will take a two week close. Comps in the pocket are 232 to 2…
