Coming from zero here. The appeal of land banking to me was that there's no tenant, no roof, no calls at 11pm. You buy it and you wait. Then I read a post where someone found out…
A large share of the low-rate loans that wholesalers bring to sub-to buyers are government backed, and experienced operators split hard on whether those are workable. The argument…
Rooming house staffing tends to split into two models with real tradeoffs on both sides. A live-in manager means someone is present when a late night kitchen argument starts, so p…
Take a 228k loan 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 what makes a request like this hard to…
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…
Take a two bedroom near a small college town closing in six weeks. Local cleaners in a market like that typically quote 95 to 130 dollars per turn depending on whether linens are…
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…
Land development looks attractive to a lot of people with full time jobs because the timelines are long, which reads as spread out. Long project, not much happening most weeks, se…
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…
Operating experience across several hundred rental units teaches an owner which buildings will have a bad year and roughly why, often before it shows up anywhere official. Whether…
A common pattern across small content teams serving real estate clients right now is a sharp drop in per piece production time on short form work, editing and drafting assisted. A…
Drafting a service agreement for a lead-finding arrangement usually forces an answer to a question that's easy to avoid otherwise. What is actually being sold? Option one is a nar…
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…
Take a common scenario. An investor asks for a quote on a document package for ongoing use: a purchase addendum, a lease with the state-specific disclosures for the market, and an…
Across several recent value-add memos, the structure of the rent assumption tends to repeat. Year one flat to slightly negative, concessions burning off by month 14 to 18, then 3.…
For an investor whose capital shows up in irregular lumps and who doesn't want it sitting in the market, two land plays worth comparing. First, say roughly 300 acres of planted pi…
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…
