A few deals in on the acquisition side and I've hit a wall where I can find contracts and then sit on them for two weeks. So I've been looking at the other direction, whether I co…
Five years into running a small service business, I've found my own books are simple enough that I do them myself in an afternoon a month. Now I've picked up two rentals and a fri…
I have a deck from a lien buying operation quoting "up to 18% statutory" for one state, and then I went and pulled the actual results page from a county in that same state and the…
I fund deals rather than do them, and I want to understand this model from the buyer's chair before I ever write a check to someone running it. A wholesaler I've been talking to h…
I do the work myself, mostly, which is why the numbers on these looked good to me in the first place. Framing, tile, trim, drywall if I have to. I sub out the panel and the HVAC.…
The pitch I keep running into is that multiple units means one vacancy doesn't wipe out your income, and that sounds obviously true. But three houses on three streets seems more s…
I'm comparing published fee schedules and they aren't comparable at all. One is a flat 300 a year per asset with a 50 setup. One is 0.25 percent of account value with a 1,500 cap.…
I spend most of my time on the service side of real estate, so the acquisition part is new to me and this is the piece I can't picture. Everybody explains how to get a parcel unde…
Everything I read about wholesaling says the whole appeal is you never own the house, you just sell the paper. Then this room says double closing means you actually buy it. So do…
I own a couple of small multifamily buildings and I'd like to find the next one off market instead of fighting six offers on the MLS. Called an agency about search ads. They said…
Duplex, seller's payoff is about $142,000 on a 3.25% note, asking $205,000, willing to carry the difference on a wrap so the underlying loan stays in place. I've been on the tools…
Looking at taking a piece of a single house deal and the financing doesn't line up with the operating plan. Purchase price 420k, it's a 4/2 with two bonus rooms converted, so six…
Looking at a 90 acre parcel listed with a timber cruise attached. The listing says something like 40 acres of merchantable pine plus the rest in younger growth. My assumption was…
I've been reading up on this for six months and this part still won't sit straight in my head. My buyer representation agreement, the one I have to sign before touring anything no…
Sat down with a listing agent about a duplex and she had clearly written her whole property description with AI. It read fine. Better than the last three descriptions I read, hone…
Pitched on a package that's $2,500 a month for SEO with a six month minimum, and they were fairly blunt that paid ads turn off the moment the card stops. I've got a small portfoli…
Renovation is my usual lane and I keep getting handed these because nobody else wants them. Current one: seller inherited, holds title alone, house is full floor to ceiling, and h…
I've been comparing the two ways I can actually get at this as a passive holder. Listed REITs, where I can read the 10-K, and a non-traded private fund a broker sent me at 1.25% m…
Three cosmetic flips in and I'm trying to step up to a real gut. On the cosmetic jobs 10 percent contingency was plenty, I never used all of it. Put the same 10 percent on a 100k…
Two things I read that don't sit together. One article described mezzanine debt as basically a second mortgage on commercial property. Another said the mezz lender doesn't get a l…
