I have a gap loan sitting in Memphis right now, 14 months in, 11.5 percent, borrower is current and I expect payoff around month 18 when he refinances. That duration I planned. Bu…
The scenario worth thinking through: a franchisee signs a fifteen-year NNN, base rent at $120k annually, but the landlord funded $200k in TI at lease commencement and structured t…
Six months ago the standard advice was to get your deal in front of 2,000 emails and let volume do the work. That logic assumed the buyers at the top of any serious list were stil…
That phrase has done real work in killing deals. A restriction that runs with the land does not become informational because the title company calls it that, and a title policy wi…
Four months in and I still do not fully know if he is wrong. I am sitting on a hard money commitment out of Tempe, a GC who picks up on the second ring, and roughly $60k in home e…
A case worth studying: an owner holds 24 units across three small buildings, self-manages, and is spending roughly 18 hours a week on leasing calls, maintenance coordination, and…

I have been looking at waterfall structures where the sponsor takes an asset management fee, a construction management fee, and sometimes a development fee, all of which sit senio…
A standard contract-to-close file has a predictable shape: purchase agreement, contingency dates, lender milestones, title, close. A construction loan file has that shape plus a d…
That stuck with me because it is partly true and that is exactly what makes it dangerous. A 40-space surface lot with 30 monthly contracts looks like stable income until you reali…
I have a $140k short-term gain sitting from a note sale I closed in March, 180-day clock started ticking around then, and I keep running into this question. The 5-year step-up to…
This was Durham, March of last year. Single family I had moved out of 18 months prior, converted clean, tenant had been there eight months without a hiccup. She lost a week of hou…
Sitting with a 9-unit in Elk Grove right now, asking $1.1M, in-place rents at $9,400 a month. Seller's pro forma gets to a 6.8 cap by taking expenses down to 34 percent of gross,…
The house is a three-bed in Garfield Heights, been with the same tenant since November 2022, she pays on time and the unit is clean. I raised her $75 at the last renewal and she t…
Asking because I've seen two different structures on deals in my market and they're not the same thing even though people use the same language. One arrangement I looked at had th…
Listed at 229k, staged vacant for eight weeks at 3,200 total, had decent traffic the first three weeks and then nothing. Property sat 94 days before I dropped to 221k and closed.…
