Looking at a 54-key select service in a mid-size market, and the franchise royalty runs about 5% of room revenue. Operator is pitching the brand as rate protection when occupancy…
Take an investor with a 67,000 gain deciding whether to roll it into a qualified opportunity fund. The argument against it is blunt. That is 67,000 going into something they canno…
Here is a probate case worth studying because the loss came from a line nobody was watching. Take a probate SFR in Tucson where the homeowner's policy lapsed four months before th…
This is one that genuinely lacks a clean answer. Say a sponsor closes a 32-unit deal in Q1, the LLC is formed and capital is deployed. Then the next deal does not come together un…
I converted the place in Tucson in March 2023 and moved to Portland for work. Figured I could handle it myself, save the 8% management fee, maybe $140 a month on a $1,750 rent. Fo…

The tenants have been there six years, pay $1,140 a month combined, and the lease renews in March. I had an agent walk through in September and she said I could get $1,380 if I re…
Take a single family bought at 71k with 38k of rehab put into it, refinanced at 121k on a DSCR loan at 7.1 percent six months in. That returns 103k of the 109k the operator had in…

Consider a passive LP who owns a quarter of a multifamily building in Columbus and has never set foot in it, which means relying heavily on what people say. The operating partner…
Consider a second lien on a former call center in Dayton, Ohio, converted to 34 apartments in 2021. The sponsor runs out of money at 60% occupancy, the senior begins accelerating,…
A title rep's line worth sitting with: the higher the number on the contract, the more creative the ownership situation tends to be. Take a 2.1M estate where the seller says he ow…
I don't have an end buyer yet. That's the whole thing I'm sitting with right now. Found a property in Akron, seller under contract at 74k, I have what looks like a 94k end buyer r…
