Working out what my first deal actually costs and I've got a single cell that says rehab, with 140 in it. Someone in another room told me that cell should be three numbers, not on…
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…
A broker sent me a one page flyer on a 7,000 sf two story clinic building in a suburb I barely know. Four suites, three leased, an asking price, a rent roll with three lines on it…
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 comparable short term rental opportunities, same lake draw, different regulatory environments, worth weighing side by side. Option one: a small resort city that capped nightly…
A typical first inspection on a small unit comes back with a handful of items: a missing GFCI in the kitchen, a loose handrail, a torn window screen, a cracked outlet cover, a wea…
Picture 60 addresses logged and sitting untouched for two months, which is its own kind of answer about which channel feels comfortable. The choice among the standard first touche…
A question that gets skipped right up until signing for a seat: the clock. An agency will typically offer either overlap with the client's business day, which for the VA is overni…
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…
A private lender writing residential first position notes in the $80k to $250k range, whose loan documents currently give the lender the right to select the settlement agent, is w…
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…
A scenario that splits consultants down the middle. An investor sanity checking a small market emails four consultants and hears back from two. The first sends a booking link with…
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…
A well drafted lease option package, separate option contract from the lease as it should be, but with no mention of recording. Nothing goes to the county, and the buyer's protect…
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…
Take a scenario worth working through: a 130-unit 55-plus community, twelve years old, sitting at 95 percent occupancy. A full-time lifestyle director costs the property about $71…
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…
One for every strategy in the guide. Each has its own discussion, live deals, outcomes and polls.
