Under contract on a 28 site park, currently run on a wall calendar and a cordless phone. I priced software and got wildly different answers. One platform quoted me a percentage of…
I mentioned to a guy at a meetup that I was reading about buying liens across a few states and he said once you're doing it at any real volume you need a license, and possibly E&O…
20 acres, asking $14,500, absentee owner who inherited it and lives four states away. The county parcel viewer shows no road frontage. There's a dirt two-track cutting across the…
Every article on seller-financed land seems to use different words for what looks like the same arrangement. Land contract, contract for deed, installment sale, and then some peop…
Reading an intercreditor draft on a recap I'm looking at, $34m value, $22m senior, $4.5m mezz behind it at 12 and a half. The coupon is the part everyone argues about and I think…
Been looking at property management as the thing I actually do rather than buying anything, and I've gotten three different answers about licensing. One person told me you need a…
Working through a structure before I commit to it. Underlying is a 30-year fixed at 3.75 with about 312k left and roughly 26 years to run, payment 1,640 plus escrow. Plan is to se…
I've been pricing out what a one-person contract-to-close setup costs before I quote anyone. What I've found so far: a dedicated transaction management platform, e-signature, some…
I run documents rather than properties, and my current setup is a single purchase and sale agreement with an assignability clause, used in Ohio, North Carolina and Oklahoma, plus…
I don't invest and I'm not sure I want to. But I'm out in neighborhoods constantly for work and I notice the same things over and over, houses with two years of mail in the box, b…
Working through a supplemental for a mid-cap industrial name and the headline story (REITs implying 6.3% against private appraisals around 5.1%) keeps shrinking as I strip things…
A marketplace blast came through at $145,000 with ARV listed at $210,000 and rehab "estimated $45,000." I pulled the county record and the property is under contract at $118,000,…
I got forwarded a deck for a 90 unit in Greenville from someone in an investing group I lurk in. 50k minimum, 7 percent preferred return, five to seven year hold. When I asked the…
I mostly do land and zoning and I'm trying to get the vocabulary straight before I embarrass myself in front of a planner. I see "adaptive reuse" used for a warehouse becoming lof…
We run listing content packages for agents. Three people including me, 42 packages last month, $180 each. A package is the long description, six captions, and one vertical reel cu…
Under contract at $142,000, ARV somewhere around $215,000, needs maybe $30k of work by my numbers. Dispo partner says he has a buyer at $158,000, so $16,000 spread, 50/50. Fine. W…
Coming into this from a completely different career, so the insurance vocabulary is where I'm getting tangled. I read that a landlord policy includes "loss of rent" coverage and I…
I'm working on the lending side rather than owning, and I'm trying to think through the ugly case. Borrower stops paying, I end up taking a property back, and the house is full of…
Deal in progress and I want to understand the failure modes before I commit the gain. Numbers: purchase $1.2m, allocation looks like $340k land and $860k improvements, so my subst…
I'm reading the PPM for a value-add multifamily fund. Target leverage 65 percent at the property level, and there's a paragraph telling tax-exempt investors to expect unrelated bu…
