Working through a closing package on a purchase a friend is doing, since I'm trying to understand the loan side properly before I put money anywhere. The settlement statement show…
Most of my marketing work over the years has been for agents, and I run a small shop. An investor found me through an agent client and wants seller lead gen in a metro I've never…
Built out the apartment over my detached garage this spring, I did the framing, rough-in and finish myself, licensed guys on the electrical and the gas line. 480 square feet, one…
I do renovation work and I'm now on the investing side, and the part that's killing me is scheduling. Six trades, none of them answer the phone at the same time, and I spend my ev…
This landed on me through an estate and I've read the documents twice, so numbers first. 320 acres, roughly 280 tillable, in a county where the extension survey put average cash r…
I frame houses for a living, so I'm on residential streets five days a week and I see the vacant ones before the mail carrier does. Started passing addresses to three local invest…
Small two story building in a suburban node. Suite 104 is a 2,100 sf pediatric practice at $34/sf. Suite 206 is a 2,000 sf insurance agency at $26/sf. Same building, same age, sam…
I built my own dispatch and follow-up flow over about two years because I was losing quotes I never followed up on. Nothing fancy. Every quote over $2,000 gets a text at day 2, da…
Been doing rehab work for years so my phone is full of people who buy houses that need work. Actual buyers, people who have paid me to swing hammers on their projects. A wholesale…
A listing agent I do trim and cabinet work for asked if I'd walk her sellers' houses a week before listing and hand them a written punch list. Her pitch is that she gets fewer sur…
The lease is 2,400 square feet at 1,900 a month, three year term, personal guarantee, plus about 400 a month in utilities and insurance based on what the landlord's other tenant t…
I've been doing tile and some light plumbing for a guy who flips maybe six houses a year in my area. Last week on a walkthrough he said, half joking, if you find me another one li…
Page 14 of the HOA docs says no lease shorter than six months. That single line is the only reason I haven't written an offer, and I've now read it four times. The property is a 2…
Under contract on a 1,280 square foot house on 6 acres in a county with maybe 90 arms-length sales a year. Contract price 148k, cash-out purchase money loan behind it, so the lend…
I've narrowed to two mortgage REITs and they are almost opposites, which is the problem. Name A is agency heavy. Government backed mortgage securities, so credit loss is close to…
Turns and light rehab are what my small crew does, mostly for other people's rentals, and one of the brokers I work for sent me a 7-unit as a pocket listing before it goes up. 7 u…
Two decisions and they interact, which is why I can't separate them. Position one, in since 2022. 320 units, 2016 vintage, big Sun Belt metro. Purchase was $61.4M, $192k a unit, f…
One of my management clients owns a small apartment portfolio and also, it turns out, 40 acres she inherited outside a growing exurb about 45 minutes from a metro. She's 78, doesn…
I move slowly and I've spent about four months interviewing agents before committing to one. Down to two and I've hit something I don't know how to weigh. Agent A: eleven years, w…
I run a residential cleaning operation, five years, seven people, mostly recurring biweekly homes and a few move-outs. Over the last four months three separate owners with nightly…
