I hold notes, I don't own the properties. With a long-term rental I can look at a lease and a payment history and get comfortable. On a short-term rental there's no lease and the…
Basic question that I should already know and don't. On a 34-lot park where all 34 homes are tenant owned, what am I insuring? There's no building. I've got roads, a well house, a…
If the whole scope is paint, flooring, fixtures, a vanity swap and landscaping, and no wall is opened and no system is replaced, is there any filing that happens at all? Or is it…

Former drug store box, 12,200 sf, been dark a while. Market rent for the whole block is about $16 NNN because there are maybe two users in the trade area who want that size. Broke…

Here's the deal I'm looking at. Loan is 2.9%, balance 227k, PITI is 1,412 with 310 of that going to escrow. Rent comps are 1,725 to 1,775. The problem is what happens to that 310.…
I've been reading through the paperwork on a 30-unit single-asset raise a sponsor is putting together, mostly to understand who does what on a deal like that. Securities counsel c…
Just started, everything is new. People in this space say JV about about four different things and I can't tell them apart. Someone told me they JV'd a deal and all they did was t…
Trying to understand staging as something to put money into rather than something to buy, and the whole thing seems to live or die on inventory turns. Here's the model I built and…
I've got a mixed-use building I'd sell tomorrow if the buyer could get a loan. He can't, he's self-employed two years and every bank wants three. He asked about owner financing an…
Working on getting licensed and I want to understand this from the ground up before I ever try it. Everything I read says lead with empathy and never mention how you found them. B…

I've got a spreadsheet of 40 counties and I've been stuck in it for weeks, so I'm trying to move on something. Read a thread somewhere about a guy pulling $40k a month selling mot…
Running a two-person route in a metro of about 900k. We log roughly 400 addresses a month between us. Skip tracing at about 18 cents a record, but my usable hit rate (correct owne…

A sponsor's mailing list sent me a preferred equity tranche at 12 percent and I've been staring at it for two days. I've been looking mostly at the lending side, and everything I…
