I've got a side by side duplex with long-term tenants in both halves. One lease ends soon and the nightly comps in that pocket are strong enough that I want to try it on that unit…
Two paths on the same 2 bed. Unfurnished market rent is about 2,150. Furnished corporate direct, I think I can hold 3,400 a month with utilities and internet included, which run m…
My first rental closes in a few months and I've been reading outside that lane to figure out where the rest of the money eventually goes. Timberland comes up constantly as the thi…
I've got about $600k to place and I'm stuck between two shapes. Three fourplexes at roughly $550k each, 25% down, investor residential terms. Or one twelve-unit at around $1.6m on…
Still working out where I fit in this industry, and I keep landing back on buyer representation because the work sounds like something I'd be decent at. Then I read the outlook he…
I'm sorting through which parts of this industry I might actually want to be in, and non-traded REITs keep coming up as the passive option. What I don't understand is what I'm act…
Something I read said a double close doesn't need transactional funding at all, because the escrow officer just uses the end buyer's money to pay the original seller and everythin…
A few deals in and I've always just let the commission happen without looking at it. Now that it's a negotiated number in my agreement I want to understand what I'm actually payin…
Working through a first JV structure on a value-add deal. $4.5M of equity, my side $4M, operator $500k, 8% pref then 50/50. I asked for consent on sale, refinance, any new debt, t…
Working a 14-unit at 1.62M asking. My underwriting lands NOI at about 96k after a 5 percent management fee and 300 per unit per year in reserves, so roughly a 5.9 going-in cap. Ba…
Deal I'm modeling as a career changer, so tell me where I'm wrong. Tax card says 1,450 square feet. Tape says roughly 1,900, because at some point somebody finished a rear additio…
I've been talking to a coach who runs a small group program, $4,000 for six months. On the call he offered me a second option instead: pay nothing up front, and he takes 20% of th…
Reading the management agreement on a smaller externally managed REIT and the incentive structure is pointed the wrong way for what I want to do with it. Base fee is 1.5% of stock…
The thing my audience asks for most, by a wide margin, is help raising capital, and I'm putting a service business together around it. Not raising it for me, teaching them to rais…
Trying to get a real number in my head before I stop researching and start doing something. What I think I understand: assignment costs you basically nothing, double close costs y…
I've got a handful of doors and the cleaning side is the part that keeps breaking. Every cleaner I use is a solo operator, they cancel, and a Saturday cancellation in a market wit…
My closing disclosure shows a lender's title policy at around $600 and an owner's policy at around $1,100, and my agent said the seller customarily pays for the owner's policy whe…
Small portfolio, mostly rentals, and I've been adding certificates as a side sleeve. At a dozen positions in one county I can hold the whole thing in my head. I want to go to some…
Sponsor is a third party, no relationship to me, a value-add multifamily deal. Minimum check is $100k. I've got about $180k in a self-directed traditional IRA and roughly $120k of…
Long holds and land are my normal territory, so this is me reading into something adjacent rather than operating in it. A dispo arrangement was described to me where the operator…
