Running a small service team and I keep getting pulled into probate jobs from two directions, so I want to know how the room prices this. Direction one: cleanouts are a real busin…
I want income and I don't want a second job, so operating a 200 unit asset is never happening for me. That leaves two doors and I've spent three months going back and forth betwee…
This was my first passive investment in anything and I picked the thing that sounded safest. Age-restricted community, 132 units, existing building from the 90s, sponsor was buyin…
Under contract on a 9,200 square foot single tenant retail box in a small town, national drug chain style tenant, 6 years left on a flat lease at 118k a year absolute net. My cont…
My work is on the service side of real estate with a small team under me, and I keep looking over the fence at commercial wholesaling. My understanding is that you don't need mone…
I ran two owner-occupant structures against the same $340k house, three bed, 1990s, in a submarket where it rents for about $2,450 today. Quotes I was given last month, and rates…
Still in diligence, so nothing is signed. The house is a 3 bed 1.5 bath in a working neighborhood about a mile from a community college. Whole house would lease around $1,650. Thr…
Trying to work out the monthly overhead on a 4-bed before I go further. I've seen co-living operators mention things like room-level listing sites, rent collection apps, and somet…
Writing this up because the failure was in the sequence, not the idea, and the sequence is the part people can copy. Plan was a 2m fund to buy small flex and shop buildings, 4,000…
This came up three times last month with people my team works with, and the room splits every time, so I want to see the actual count. When you use a broker on a residential loan,…
I've done a few small value-add residential deals and I'm hitting the ceiling on how much of my week they take. Net lease looks like the answer, except every listing that has a te…
I've spent two years reading here before buying anything, so this is my one purchase and I don't have a pattern to compare it to yet. It's a freestanding QSR pad, about 2,400 sf,…
Since the incentive became permanent under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the thing I'm seeing on the acquisition side is that sellers of dirt inside likely tracts have figured o…
$2.4M of eligible gain from a partnership disposition, clock runs out in about 70 days. Two candidates. Fund A is already deploying into currently designated tracts. Lead asset is…
A sponsor with two apartment deals and roughly 60 LPs floated about $2,500 a month for me to handle investor relations. When I asked what that means in hours he said quarterly upd…
A sponsor I've co-invested with twice asked me to take over the investor-facing side of his book. Two apartment deals plus a storage facility, about $14m of LP equity, 180 investo…
Comparing two LP offerings, both acquiring small parks in the same three states, and the assumptions are far enough apart that one of them has to be wrong. Fund A: 5-year hold, $2…
This one's closed out so I can tell it properly. Eighteen months ago I wanted into manufactured housing and couldn't afford a park. What I could afford was homes. I bought two 199…
I'm mostly on the paper side and still working out what I'm doing, so bear with the framing. I've got an agent lined up because I want to buy two or three actual houses instead of…
My plan is one small property, hold it, then reassess in a couple of years. Everything I read about investor-focused buyer's agents assumes the client is buying repeatedly and tre…
