one click, then see the split
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…
A question worth thinking through before ever going under contract: whether to build a buyer list from scratch or hand disposition to an established network or marketplace for the…
Take a 3 acre lot with a house, a barn and a decent view to the west, a property large enough that aerial footage probably helps but not so large that the land alone is the story.…
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…
A useful comparison for evaluating sponsor economics: two sponsors raising for similar 100 to 150 unit value add plans in similar markets, with almost opposite fee structures. Spo…
A first rental purchase often comes down to two shapes that point in opposite directions. Shape one is a duplex close by, maybe 50 minutes away. Prices are higher, rent to price i…
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…
A common question for a closing operation handling all-cash LLC purchases of single-family rentals: who files the report, and does the firm build that service in-house. The reside…
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…
Private money looking at brokerages as service businesses runs into a hard problem with the underlying math. The asset is a set of independent contractor agreements that mostly te…
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…
Self-storage sponsors consistently lean on the word defensive: demand comes from life events, moving, divorce, downsizing, death, none of which stop in a downturn, and that story…
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…
Luxury agents working through this in practice tend to land in one of three camps, and none of the three has fully settled the question yet. The percentage camp keeps charging a p…
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…
Building a list of brokerages before getting licensed and sitting in on recruiting conversations tends to surface the same pattern every time: every pitch leads with the split, th…
This question comes up constantly, so it is worth laying out plainly. Somebody wants to do a first two or three lot split. Their home county has a subdivision ordinance that is ge…
