I have been mapping how the land guys I follow structure their lead delivery and there are two camps that both look defensible on paper, so I want to see where this room lands. Ca…
The option got signed Tuesday and it has two purchase prices in it, which is the part I'm still slightly amazed the seller went for. Setup. I sold my share of a small service busi…
Read three consulting proposals for a portfolio review this month. All three had the same structure. Data gathering, stakeholder interviews, scenario modeling, findings presentati…
Sat in on a call yesterday where someone was introduced as a real estate consultant and I spent the whole hour not understanding what he was for. He didn't sell anything, he wasn'…
Trying to do this carefully rather than fast, and I've now been careful for eleven months, so here are the actual numbers in the hope somebody tells me which question I should be…
I've been talking to a few homeowners about their backyard unit plans and I keep ending up as the person who calls the building department, collects contractor bids and keeps the…
Licensing exam is in three weeks, so this timing is comedy. I've got 142k in a self-directed traditional IRA, mostly cash after a note paid off early. Sponsor I've known for a whi…
My brother buys and rehabs houses, mostly small stuff. He's asked whether I'd fund one, and I have an old rollover sitting in an IRA doing very little. I'd always assumed family w…
I read documents for a living so I'm coming at this backwards. I understand what a purchase agreement is. What I don't understand is the middle part of driving for dollars. Someon…

I do renovations. Someone told me the natural next step from gut jobs is a small ground-up commercial shell, a 6,000 square foot retail building on a pad, because it's the simples…
Closed on a small duplex sale last month and after everything cleared there's about 90k. Two options on the table and I keep flipping. Option one is putting it against a loan on a…
Reading through a few quarterly decks and the yield is on slide 2 but the thing management spends ten minutes on is book value per share and how it moved. One deck showed GAAP boo…
First and last time I played transactional lender without checking the far end of the chain. Deal came to me from a wholesaler I'd done nothing with before, referred by someone I…
I kept pitching this thing to clients for five years at my small marketing shop, and I finally built it myself. Seller submits a property through a landing page, answers eight que…
Owners call me every week wanting out from under a rental, and I've been handing the ones who'd rather sell than keep managing to two investors I've worked with. No money has chan…
Four agents in the last two months have asked me for aerial as part of a photo package and I've had to say no every time. Two of them went and hired somebody who did the whole sho…
I've been charging $250 flat for what I call the standard aerial: 8 to 10 edited stills plus a 60 second clip cut to music, delivered next day. Agents keep asking me to fold it in…
Started with zero budget and a used sedan. Nine Saturday mornings, two to three hours each, three adjacent zips I picked because the housing stock is all 1950s to 1970s and the ow…
I'm doing thin-margin stuff and trying not to add cost, but a guy at a meetup told me driving for dollars is fine but the second you sign a contract and assign it you need a real…
