My mom's old coworker runs a small investment group and they're buying a 96-key limited service hotel off an interstate exit, two brands within a mile of it. He asked if I wanted…
House I'm under contract on has maybe a room and a half of junk plus a garage packed to the door. Previous owner left furniture, a lot of boxes, an old riding mower, and what look…
I've been running cleaning crews for five years, mostly for landlords who pay me off an invoice and never ask about paperwork. Started filling out a vendor application to get REO…
Finished this one last spring, so I've had time to be calm about it. Bought a 1963 ranch, 1,450 square feet, 246k, 3.5 percent down. Plan was to live in it 12 to 14 months, fix it…
I keep poking holes in strategies and this is the one that survives every objection I throw at it. Buy as an owner occupant, live there the required year, convert to rental, repea…
I look at debt more than equity, so when I see the valuation gap argument I want to know whether it reaches the paper side. The names I follow hold agency MBS and some whole loans…
Building the base layer of a REIT sleeve and I've spent two days on fund documents instead of picking names. Target weights I want to land on: industrial 25, data centers 15, heal…
First JV I did was 50/50 and I earned exactly half. I brought a signed contract and nothing else, and my partner did the buyer work, the title chasing, the extension negotiation,…
I read the ATTOM number about typical gross returns falling to around 25 percent, lowest since 2008, and my first reaction was that 25 percent sounds enormous. My savings account…
First one I wrote the scope myself off YouTube and a lot of opinions. Went 41 percent over budget. Second one I did something simple. Before I closed, I paid a listing agent 500 t…
Two things came across my desk in the same month. One is a public non-traded REIT holding nothing but data centers and a small amount of build-to-suit development. The other is a…
First deal, and I want to write it down while the numbers are still exact. 8,400 square foot single tenant retail box, auto parts style user, secondary market in the upper midwest…
Seven lots on 31 acres, new 1,100 foot gravel road to county standard, cul-de-sac bulb at the end. I've built roads for other people for years, so this was supposed to be the part…
My business is service work, so clients vet me all day long, and I've got a decent sense of which questions actually reveal something. Now I'm on the other side looking at a first…
First one done. 7,200 sf end unit in a 1990s light industrial condo park, 16 foot clear, one dock and one grade door, small office up front. $520,000, so $72/sf, in a park where t…
Working through a deal that looks great on the yield line and worse the longer I sit with it. 34,000 sf, built 1978, 18 foot clear, one dock door and one drive-in, town of about 6…
I ran lifestyle and activity programming for a 240-unit active adult community under a two-year service agreement. Fitness classes, resident clubs support, event calendar, three s…
This is a small one. $25k into an eight tenant office and flex building, roughly 34,000 sf, single story, in a suburb where a lot of the tenants are contractors and small medical.…
I mostly do long holds and land, so this was outside my lane and it shows. I ended up with two contracts I didn't want. Infill lots, one 1.1 acre and one 0.6, in a growing small c…
I've been reading a seller's package on a 14 over 4 while I wait on my own much smaller first deal, mostly to learn how these get valued. The package includes an appraisal from ei…
