Is there a way to verify a title company or escrow holder before you wire, if you're working in a state you've never been to? I'm in Texas, the deal is in Ohio, and the number on…
I inherited a small rental house eighteen months ago and I've been going back and forth on whether to sell it or keep it. Part of what's been pulling me toward keeping it is the i…
Found a property in Dayton, Ohio last month, seller at 74k, end buyer verbal at 96k. Looked like 22k gross before costs. Transactional funding quote came back at 1,840 for a 5-day…
Bought a duplex in Macon County 14 months ago with a 3.5% FHA down. Lender counted the ADU income at 75% of the appraiser's market rent estimate, which came in at $1,040. So the q…
Watching deals get assigned in this room and I genuinely cannot tell what number ends up in the actual assignment agreement. Like if I lock a house at $80k and sell the contract t…
Spent two hours on this today. The sponsor looks fine on paper, March 2023 offering, $50M raise target, office/industrial mix in the Carolinas. Audited financials, yes, but I went…
A case worth laying out with the numbers, because the variance is the lesson. An owner owes 187k with an auction 19 days out. The offer goes in at 231k against a 279k ARV with abo…

Take a 22 key boutique in a market like Asheville. The seller is motivated and a lease option structure is workable, but the management agreement the current owner signed runs to…
The fund throws off interest income, so I'm trying to figure out if sheltering that inside a traditional SDIRA changes anything materially when I eventually take distributions and…
Bought a duplex in Columbus last fall, first unit turned over in March and I had zero idea whether to stage it for a tenant or just list it empty. Read a few threads here and deci…
Where a 55 plus active adult property sits in lenders' heads is a real question with real dollars attached. Picture a 48 unit property, age restricted, no meals and no licensed ca…
