I sold a small business last year and have about 600k I'd rather partner with than operate myself. Two operators I've spent real time with have both sent term sheets for deals clo…
Seller has a 10-unit brick walkup, all 1BR, in a town of about 4,000 people an hour from anything. Asking 620k, which he's calling an 8 cap off his own NOI of roughly 49.6k. Books…
I signed up for a free 45 minute strategy call from someone whose videos I've been watching for a few months. Then the confirmation email came with a form. It wants my credit scor…

Sales call last week. Mastermind, $12,000 a year, monthly group calls, two in-person events, a deal-review channel. The pitch number was that 41 percent of members close a deal wi…
Contract with the seller at 214k, resale to my end buyer at 252k. I built the whole thing as a double close because the spread is 38k and I did not want that number sitting on an…

Trying to buy my first place next year and house hacking is the only version of the math that works, but every example I read is either three roommates in a five bedroom or a dupl…

Title commitment came back Friday on an 18 acre parcel I have under contract at 42,000. Builder buyer has verbally agreed to 68,000 and wants four lots off the road frontage. Two…
