I've been building out the terms side of a small rural land plan and I've stalled on the document choice, because the two camps I read both sound experienced and they say opposite…
I've got a pickup, a trailer I can borrow, and two people who will work weekends with me. What I don't have is a decision about which kind of work to go after first, and every wee…
I've installed and repaired a fair amount of this equipment and I've never seen a lease handle it well, so I want to put the ownership question to people who underwrite these buil…
I read the contract before I signed it, which apparently makes me unusual. Section 4 of a bulk property data agreement I was about to sign says the licensee may use the data inter…
I've been running wrap math on a duplex I own with a 3.9 percent loan on it, about 141k left. If I sold at 215k with 15k down and carried the 200k at 7 percent, the buyer's paymen…
I'm list building, no deals yet, and I've realized I'm building the wrong half without deciding it on purpose. I've got about 400 records of absentee owners and pre-foreclosure in…
I read the county code three times because I assumed I'd misread it. The accessory dwelling standards say maximum floor area is the lesser of 800 square feet or 50 percent of the…
Two things I've been looking at side by side, both about 40 minutes from me. One is a fourplex around 540k, four two beds, in place rents 1,250 each. It would be a residential loa…
I came from the build side, so replacement cost is the number I trust most and I think that's exactly the bias I need beaten out of me. Deal shape: 312 units, 2004 vintage, garden…
Two people have offered to handle dispo for me when I get something under contract, and I have no way to tell which offer is worth more. The first sends a monthly email to a list…
Reading a 240 unit deck where the sponsor is paying about 2.1 points into a rate buydown and an interest rate cap that runs three years. The alternative they say they negotiated w…
Trying to settle an argument I'm having with myself before I move anything. The clean version of self-directed IRA deployment is passive and unleveraged. Interest from private len…
A newer investor asked me to look at a sub-to he was offered, and I couldn't decide what to tell him, so I'll put it to the room. The case for doing it early: the deal doesn't nee…
I hold land and long-term rentals and I've been prospecting owners directly for six years, so I've watched my own connect rate slide from something like 11 percent down to under 4…
I'm building the screening file I'd use if I ever offered a rent-to-own on the house I'm about to close on, and the standard tenant screen doesn't answer the question I actually h…
I've been doing diligence on medical outpatient buildings for about a year and I keep landing on the same fork, so I want to see how the room splits. Quick definition for anyone n…
I'm setting up a rent-to-own on a small house as the buyer and the owner has left the term open for me to propose. My credit needs about eighteen months of clean payments and a bi…
I've read the section on income valuation twice and I think I finally understand why these two buildings are asking the same number. Both are 5 units, same small city, about a mil…
My market is rural, small counties, price points under $120k, and the owner universe is small enough that I can name most of it. Last year my vendor was getting a live conversatio…
I've got overflow. My own acquisitions can work maybe 20 seller conversations a week and I'm generating closer to 35, so the rest go stale on a spreadsheet. Two local investors ha…
