Finished framing out the deck on a two-bedroom I'm setting up for nightly stays in a small lake market, and the contractor left space for a tub because I told him to six weeks ago…
I'm building a list of pre-foreclosure and probate-adjacent single-family files in one county, roughly 30 names, and I want a clear picture of the legal spend before I start makin…
Sat through two intro calls this week for the same price band, roughly $4k for six months of group coaching plus office hours. The first guy owns a real portfolio, small multifami…
I've been talking to two people on opposite ends of this and I can't tell which one is the harder road. One runs a shop that started with four doors from a friend's rental and gre…
I've had the same conversation three times this month with owners and managers and nobody agrees. Percent of collected rent is the default. Eight to twelve percent depending on ma…
I look at draw schedules and budgets on the lending side, so I see the marketing line on a lot of flip and small development budgets. That line ranges from $200 to $1,600 on house…
Third water heater in two years on my four unit, and I spent a Saturday on the phone about it. That night I ran the arithmetic on a small single tenant retail pad someone sent me,…
An operator I've done business with before wants 65k behind a 480k senior on a 7 unit. Three units are offline, plan is to finish them, season the rents about four months, and ref…
Two adjacent corner parcels, about 0.6 acres total, in a small city that just rewrote its downtown-adjacent district. Ground floor commercial permitted and encouraged, three resid…
Went through four REIT annual reports this month and came out with a sequencing problem I can't settle. One order says sector first. The chapter for this room is blunt about it, s…
I do fast flips, thin margins, and I've been writing my own listing copy forever because paying for it never penciled. An agent I've closed two deals with asked if I'd write copy…
Asking price works out to a 9.1 cap on in-place, which for a rural building isn't strange on its own. What's making me stare at it is the tenant roster. Family practice in 4,400 s…
I've got money set aside and no deals, and I'm reading the luxury assignment numbers with real suspicion. The pitch is that the spread scales with the price, so a single distresse…
Two ways to control an obsolete building while you find out whether it converts, and I've priced both this year on similar boxes. One: buy it. You get a price that reflects the fa…
I ran the same 20 acre parcel two ways on a spreadsheet and I can't decide which column I like, so I'll put the numbers up and let people argue. Cost in is $8,400. I'm asking $22,…
I've been calling industrial brokers to understand the service side of this sector and I keep ending up in the same argument, so I want to put it to the room. The pitch for qualit…
Running numbers on a four unit where three doors would go to vouchers. Payment standard in that submarket lands around 1,240 for a two bed. Market rent on the same unit, from comp…
I've been building a list for about a year and the two best candidates I have are almost the same size and almost the same price, and the income is built in opposite directions. P…
I'm working out what a first deal costs me, and parks keep coming up as the thing with the best numbers. Low expenses, tenants who can't afford to move, demand going up when the e…
I've been reading deal memos to understand how private money actually sizes industrial risk, and the same argument keeps showing up in the risk sections without ever getting resol…
