I have a list of 41 names I scraped from courthouse records and a few meetups, and roughly six of them have ever told me a real buy box. I am not under contract on anything yet, s…
I'd rather pay for something that just works without me having to become an expert, so I've been asking around about aerial for a listing next spring. Two answers keep coming back…
Trying to get the two paths straight in my head before I spend money on either. Path one is public shares in a timber company or a fund that holds forestland. You can buy a hundre…
I've been on job sites for eleven years, so I can read a house. What I can't read is a purchase contract, and that's the whole reason I'm looking at agents at all. Two choices in…
I'm slow about decisions and I'm three deal decks deep into comparing two sponsors who want money from me for roughly similar 100 to 150 unit value-add plans in similar markets. T…
Working through what happens if the thing burns. On a pine tract, most of the value sits in the standing inventory, and a single fire or a hurricane track can take a large share o…
I've narrowed to two shapes for a first purchase and they point in opposite directions. Shape one is a duplex about 50 minutes from me. Prices are higher, rent to price is worse,…
Our coordinator asked me who files the report on an all-cash LLC purchase of a single-family rental, and I gave her one answer, then called two attorneys and got two more. The res…
My first rental, a small duplex, has tenants moving in at the start of next month. I spent four months learning screening and lease language and I thought that would be the whole…
I've been reading through how private money looks at service businesses and I can't get the brokerage math to sit still. The asset is a set of independent contractor agreements th…
I'm rebuilding my outreach for a market I've never been to, and the two options don't sit next to each other well. Outbound calling and texting means I control the volume. I pull…
I've now sat through three storage pitches this year and every one of them used the same word. Defensive. Demand comes from life events, people move, people divorce, people die, p…
A few years out from selling a house that will list somewhere north of $3M, and the fee structure is the question I keep circling back to. On a straight percentage at 2.5%, the li…
My first rental hasn't even closed yet, so I'm asking about someone else's problem that I've been shown the spreadsheet for. A builder I know has a finished four bedroom sitting a…
Three of the luxury agents my service-side team works with are all doing this differently, which makes me think none of them has it settled either. The percentage camp. Keep charg…
Coming into this with no portfolio and no license, so all I have to sell is the finding. Two people I have talked to run it completely differently and both are getting paid. The f…
Seller owes 118,000 at 3.25 percent on a 1960s ranch that needs about 60,000 of work. She'll wrap at 6.5 percent on a 245,000 price with 25,000 down, 30-year amortization, balloon…
I'm not a broker owner and I'm not licensed. I'm building a list of shops in my market because I'll need one eventually, and I've now sat in four recruiting conversations that all…
This comes up in my inbox more than anything else, so putting it to the room. Somebody wants to do their first two or three lot split. Their home county has a subdivision ordinanc…
I've got one small rental going live in the spring and I've been reading everything twice, which is how I found this room. Two providers have come up in my research at pretty diff…
