I've been trying to price out what my first deal actually costs, and a guy I know let me shadow him on a commercial one so I could see the real line items instead of the podcast v…
My cousin has about 160 acres of hay ground twenty minutes off an interstate exit in the southeast. A land guy knocked in the spring, then came back with a suit, and by June there…
A guy I know from a small owners group is 42 units into a portfolio and hit the wall everybody's hitting. Loan from 2019, low fours, maturing. New quote was over six and the proce…
I subbed drywall on a gut of a small mixed use building last spring, four retail bays and eight units above. The GC's drywall lead had been in the trade thirty years and knew ever…
I like documents more than I like houses, which is a strange thing to admit in here, so my version of touring a property is pulling whatever the county has and reading it on the c…
I got dragged into a hotel walk because a friend of a friend needed someone to hold a tape measure. 140 keys, select service, built 2007, off a highway interchange that used to be…
The sector had stayed abstract to me no matter how much I read about it, so on a Sunday evening I drove forty minutes to a campus off a state highway to look at one. I expected so…
I own land and I hold it, that's my whole thing, so I'm the wrong person to be in the middle of this story. My neighbor's son buys beat up houses, fixes them, rents them, then bor…
My coworker has been talking about buying hunting land for two years and last month he actually got serious about a piece, so I tagged along because I had nothing else going on Sa…
Four of us were on a punch list at a 288 unit complex, three story garden style, built in 2021 out in a Sun Belt suburb where there were two more cranes visible from the parking l…
There's a house about four miles from me with a hand-painted sign in the yard. RENT TO OWN. NO BANK NEEDED. Phone number. I've been trying to figure out whether I'd ever want to b…
I got invited onto a call I had no business being on. A friend from an investor group is raising preferred equity into a refinance of a mid-90s garden apartment property, about 18…
A guy from my old job invited me over for a barbecue and about halfway through he pointed at the back of his lot and said his mother-in-law lived there. I assumed he meant the hou…
I've been planning a first purchase for about two years and doing all of it on my laptop. Rate tables, forums, a spreadsheet with tabs I don't open anymore. Last month I finally w…
I set up entities before I bought anything, because that's the part of this I find interesting. One holding LLC, two child LLCs, an operating agreement I actually read and marked…
I got permission to listen in on a prep call for a credit committee, mostly to hear how the questions get asked. The asset was a single tenant shell on a campus in an emerging Sun…
I bought a note course in January. Eighteen hundred dollars, self paced, twelve modules, a private forum that turned out to be about forty people and a bot posting motivational qu…
I've been trying to figure out where I fit on the service side and somebody suggested I go see what an inspection actually is instead of guessing. A housing authority inspector I…
A tenant moved out of a two bedroom in my six unit in March. Clean move out, she got most of her deposit back, and I wrote the check without thinking about it. Then the state dead…
Small mixed use building, two commercial bays and four units above, in a town of about 9,000. I wanted aerial for the listing package because the ground shots make the block look…
