First property. Side by side duplex, 289,000, closing in three weeks. Unit A is vacant and freshly painted, unit B has a tenant who's been there nine years. Here's what I know abo…
Six months of no deals, but I've finally got a real decision instead of a spreadsheet. Roth self-directed IRA, 168k. A value-add fund I've been tracking is open for another five w…
This one started as a parcel I wanted to keep. 40 acres, mixed hardwood and about 11 acres of old pasture, two years of delinquent taxes at roughly 4,100 including interest, selle…
I run a cleanout and turnover crew, five years, mostly for landlords. One of my regular clients inherited her aunt's house and wants it gone without listing it. I've been in the h…
Three weeks into a new investor account and the leads are coming in at $41 each, which is fine for the market. He called Monday annoyed that the leads are garbage. I pulled his ca…
I have a 4 bed 2 bath under contract in a older neighborhood about a mile from a community college. Closing in three weeks and I still haven't decided how to lease it. Whole house…
Appraisal came back at 2,850 an acre on a 420 acre pine tract, and the split inside it is where I'm stuck. Bare land 1,650, standing timber 1,200. The cruise puts merchantable vol…
Got a buyer representation agreement by email Friday night. She won't show me anything Saturday until it comes back signed, which I gather is now the rule everywhere. The terms as…
I shoot my own rehabs for my records. Framing, mechanicals, the ugly parts, then the finished rooms. Nothing fancy, phone plus a cheap gimbal, but I've got a system because I've d…
Reading through a deal package on a small multifamily syndication and there's a line I haven't seen broken out this way before. The sponsor charges a 2 percent acquisition fee, an…
Got a letter, then a call, then a draft option agreement, and I'm out of my depth on the parts that matter. 62 acres, flat, cleared, about a mile and a half from a high voltage tr…
First house I've gotten to the bid stage on after way too long looking. 1,450 square feet, 1978 build, three bed two bath, in a suburb where finished comps run $255k to $272k. Pur…
I've been underwriting a $4.5M gap on an office to residential conversion for six weeks and the sponsor has offered me two ways in. Either a mezz position at 12.5% current, 1 poin…
Been reading notes for a year and this is the first time the paper is mine, and of course it's the paper that's the problem. House is a 1,650 sq ft two story in a first ring subur…
A group of four wholesalers in my county have been feeding each other leads for about a year. Three of them work day jobs. They contract maybe 2 to 4 houses a month between them a…
Been rotating 90k of a taxable account into REITs since spring and I've made a mess of the data center piece specifically. What I did: bought a position in one large data center n…
Syndication LP investing keeps coming up in what I read, and I keep running into the accreditation requirement without understanding it well enough to know if I clear it. What I t…
I came at this from notes and paper and ended up bird dogging almost by accident, because the pre-foreclosure filings I was reading for note leads turned out to be worth more to h…
The rent side of this is working. Three houses, 14 rooms total, occupancy has held around 90% room-nights for the last year, and collections are fine. What's eating me is conflict…
Sponsor wants $6M from us by the 19th and I'm stuck on the phasing. Single asset vehicle, 48 MW of contracted critical load in an emerging Sun Belt market off the I-20 corridor. T…
