First rental closes in three weeks and I've been writing my screening criteria down so I apply the same ones to everybody. The income rule I drafted is three times the rent in ver…
I gut and rebuild for a living, so I lean toward buying the cheaper house and building the rental unit myself. A basement apartment on a house I already own costs me materials plu…
Two agents in my area both do well at the top and they got there in opposite ways. One works a single neighborhood of about 900 houses, most of them over $2M. She knows every floo…
Two things on my list right now and they're the same house in different rule sets, so I'd like to hear how people weigh this. Option one is a small resort city that capped nightly…
First inspection on my duplex came back with six items. Missing GFCI in the kitchen, a loose handrail, a torn window screen, a cracked outlet cover, a bathroom exhaust fan that ra…
Slow decisions are my whole personality so I've been sitting on 60 addresses for two months without contacting anyone, which is its own answer. Before I do something, I want to he…
Nearly signed for a seat and then realized I hadn't thought about the clock at all. The agency offers either overlap with my business day, which for their side is overnight, or th…
Same week, two conversations, two completely different doors. The first sponsor said their offering only takes investors they already have a relationship with, so they'd put me on…
I'm close enough to being licensed that I'm working out where the phone calls come from, and every person I ask gives me the opposite answer with total confidence. Agent referrals…
I've been researching land mostly as something to hold, and the more I read the wholesaling side the less obvious the choice gets. Assign it: no capital tied up, no property taxes…
Writing private notes on residential, first position, small balances, mostly $80k to $250k. My loan documents currently say I select the settlement agent. I've had two borrowers p…
I've been putting together a shortlist of people who could help me sanity check a small market I've been watching for about a year. I emailed four, heard back from two. The first…
I have been shadowing leasing at a by-the-bed property to learn the service side, and the paperwork question I did not expect to be a live argument is who the lease binds. Three v…
Reading a lease option package for someone else this week and the option contract is clean, well drafted, separate from the lease exactly like people here keep saying it should be…
Two leads sitting in front of me that have nothing in common. One is a 14 unit brick walk-up, four units down, seller inherited it and lives out of state. The other is a 22,000 sq…
I've been rebuilding my acquisition template since the August 2024 rule changes and I keep hitting the same fork on one line. Option one: put the buyer-agent fee in as a real cash…
We manage a 130-unit 55-plus community, twelve years old, sitting at 95 percent. Full-time lifestyle director costs the property about $71,000 loaded. Owner pulled the activity ca…
Agent sent me his buyer agreement to sign before he'll show me anything. Six month term, exclusive, covers all residential purchases in two counties. I asked whether he'd do a ver…
Two title agents in the same state gave me opposite answers last week, which is why I'm asking here instead of picking one. The setup: I'm building the file template for out-of-st…
27 acres, six lots, preliminary plat conditioned on access. County will take either a shared private drive built to their gravel standard with a turnaround, or a dedicated paved r…
