I run services into three rooming houses and the owners all handle staffing differently, and after five years I still cannot tell which one is right. The live-in case: someone is…
$228k out at 11 percent and 2 points on a full gut in a decent inner ring suburb. Interest has come in on time every month, which is the part making this hard. Borrower has burned…
I've spent the last five months on land seller leads specifically, and the depth versus width question is now the whole decision. Width argument. Land sellers are thin on the grou…
I close in about six weeks on a two bedroom near a small college town and I'm stuck on turnovers. Local cleaners quoted me $95 to $130 per turn depending on whether linens are inc…
I hold land for decades and I've been trying to work out whether student housing can be held the same way, because everything I read about the sector treats it as a five to seven…
Twenty-two months of savings is the whole renovation budget on the place I'm circling, which means the work happens at the speed my paycheck allows. That's the live-in flip pitch…
I'm trying to figure out which strategy fits, and land keeps looking attractive to me for a reason that might be wrong. The timelines are long, so the work seemed spread out. Long…
I've been running service calls for years and half of what I do is water and sewer under old properties. Two of the bigger park operators in my region have started calling around…
I have a paid-off three bedroom rental on a 7,200 square foot lot in a permissive jurisdiction, renting at $1,850. I also have about $190k of cash that has to go somewhere this ye…
I manage a bit over 300 units across a handful of owners. I can tell you which of those buildings will have a bad year, roughly when, and why, usually before the owner knows. None…
I've been drafting a service agreement for a lead-finding arrangement and I got stuck on the scope clause, which forced me to answer a question I hadn't actually answered. What am…
Running a small content team, four people including me. Our per piece production time on short form has dropped hard over the last year, editing and drafting assisted. A reel that…
Trying to work out the order of operations here and I keep going in a circle. Every dispo person I've messaged has some version of the same reply, which is send me the contract an…
I've read the deal-by-deal syndication material and I follow it. Sponsor finds a building, raises money for that building, buys it, runs it, sells it, splits the profit. The fund…
I asked for a quote on a document package for my own use going forward: a purchase addendum, a lease with the state-specific disclosures for my market, and an assignment-of-rents…
I've read four value-add memos in the last six weeks and the structure of the rent assumption is the same in all of them. Year one flat to slightly negative, concessions burning o…
Running a small service business means my capital shows up in irregular lumps, and I've got one now that I don't want in the market. Two things in front of me. First, roughly 300…
First rental is close and I've read more about screening than about anything else, so of course I have a version of this question nobody I ask can agree on. The standard long-term…
This is the argument I have most often with clients after five years of running a service business, and it never comes up until the build is nearly done. I can put the CRM, the ph…
I've got both a traditional rollover and a Roth sitting at the same custodian, and I have to pick which one funds the real estate side. The money is the same money. The wrapper is…
