I'm about to hire a TC for the first time and the intake form asks whether the coordinator should be introduced to my client as part of the team, with direct email and text access…
Five lots coming off 41 acres, preliminary approval in hand, plat should record in the spring. Access is off existing county frontage so there's no road to build, which is why I b…
I have a gain recognized in March and a 180 day window that lands me squarely in the interim everybody keeps complaining about. Two ways to play it and I genuinely cannot decide w…
Third spec on the same plan, 1,850 square feet, entry level neighborhood where clean resales trade 372 to 388. Lot is paid for, permit is in hand, I break ground in three weeks an…
I have roughly $300k to place across LP positions over the next 24 months, and my minimums run $25k to $50k, so call it six to eight checks. I keep drawing the same grid and getti…
I own land and I'm looking at a first apartment position with two partners, so I'm reading operating models from scratch and I keep hitting this fork. The centralized version: one…
I read filings before I read prices, so I came into REITs through the wrong door. What I actually look for in a 10-K is the table of debt maturities by year, the weighted average…
Our group buys small multifamily across four states and I do the underwriting, almost all of it in single purpose LLCs, and a meaningful share is non-financed. The FinCEN resident…
I've been running both remotely and the tradeoff has gotten clearer, so I want to know how the room weighs it. Land suits the virtual model almost too well. There's no roof, no mo…
I spend most of my time on land, so this is outside my lane. What got my attention is that the pipeline for new apartments is contracting sharply and vacancy looks like it topped…
I'm sketching out how a lead platform should get paid and the two ends of the range behave completely differently. Seats. Say $299 a month per investor for access to a filtered fe…
A landowner client asked me last month what it would cost to find out whether her 60 acres could get 40 megawatts, and I didn't have a price because I've never sold that. I spent…
I'm building a list and haven't bought yet, and this argument keeps coming up with everyone I talk to. Side one says do the kitchen first. You're going to be in the house two year…
I have 52k saved and I'm looking at houses in the 130 to 160 range where 20 to 25 percent down plus closing plus a light turn puts me somewhere between 40 and 48k in. Which means…
Sold a block of stock left over from an old employer and the gain is about $80k. My accountant laid out two paths and I keep flipping between them. Path one is rolling the gain in…
I'm getting close to selling a small brick fourplex I've owned since 2014, no debt on it, and I have two live conversations. Both want me to carry. I've spent the last three weeks…
Two paths on the same kind of deal and I've read enough about both to be genuinely stuck. Path one, tie up raw land under an option with a long feasibility period, spend your own…
Ran the comparison after my bookkeeper raised rates. Monthly close on six doors plus two active flips, my quote is $520 a month. Quarterly close on the same volume came back at $1…
I'm in for 60k on a small multi tenant strip, four suites, bought at the end of a slow market. Quarterly updates arrived on time every quarter and read fine. Then on the month 14…
First LP allocation and I'm stuck on a structural choice before I even get to sponsor selection. I have $50k I'm willing to lock up for five years or so. Same sponsor is offering…
