I sold my interest in a management book this spring, gain is about $95k, and I've got a QOF offering in front of me from a sponsor I've worked around for years. Reasonable people,…
Working through a $75m storage fund, first close done, second close is the one I'd be in. Blind pool apart from two seed assets. The model shows a weighted average going-in cap of…
I run a paint and finish carpentry outfit, five years, four guys. An agent I've done punch-out work for since year one asked if I'd stage her next three listings because her usual…
An operator I've lent to twice on rehabs asked for something different. He wants $18,000 for 30 days to cover earnest money and a small non-refundable extension on a contract he's…
Situation as it stands today. Two wholesalers in the same metro, both doing about three contracts a month each, so call it six a month coming to me. Their reported average gross s…
An investor I met through a contractor I know sent me six addresses and asked me to go look at each one, take exterior photos, note whether it looks occupied, and tell him if ther…
I run search ads in one metro for the usual "sell my house fast" terms. Last month: $2,400 spent, 31 form fills, 9 people who actually picked up and talked, 1 under contract. That…

I have 60,000 that has been sitting in a savings account doing very little and I have spent two months looking at exactly two options. I want the version that works, so I'm puttin…

Career change in progress, zero deals, and I sent my first real lead to an investor I met at a meetup. Small single family, garage door caved in, grass to my knee, notice taped to…
Bought this one eight months ago. UPB $103,200, arrears at purchase $19,400, paid $47k. As-is value came in at $158k on a full interior walkthrough that the borrower let me do, wh…
I've got two columns open and the second one keeps winning, which usually means I built it wrong. Column one, a duplex I can buy at $340,000. Gross rent $2,850 a month, so $34,200…
A woman down the road from my first rental is moving in with her daughter out of state. Her loan is at 3.5%, balance around $214k, payment $1,610 with taxes and insurance escrowed…
I don't have a deal of my own yet. What I've been doing instead is helping a wholesaler I met at a local meetup with his dispo for free, because I wanted to see the buyer side bef…
Small town, population about 4,000, an hour from anything. Three bed one bath, 1,080 square feet, bought at 61k off a probate that had been listed and expired twice. Rehab budget…
Working up a valuation on an 11-unit I've been asked to list, and the gap between the rent roll and the bank statements is bigger than anything I've seen. Rent roll says 9,100 a m…
There's a cleared lot two streets over from a subdivision that finished last year. Asking 78k, flat, water and sewer in the street per the listing. I've never built anything. I've…
Sitting with a PPM for a closed-end timberland fund, ten year term with two one-year extensions, and running it against the 400-odd acre direct purchase I've been working on. Tryi…
