I got a vendor pricing sheet from a field services company and I'm trying to figure out where the trap is before I sign it. Debris removal is priced per cubic yard with a cap on t…
Construction is what I know, so I look at these rehab loans and I can see which borrowers are lying about their budget. Thought that might be worth something on the lending side.…
I've mostly held land up to now, so the furnished rental side is unfamiliar to me. I'm looking at a two bedroom condo near a hospital and the mid-term math looks better than the l…
Running six rooms under a city rooming house license. Individual room leases, month to month, shared kitchen and two baths, I provide weekly common area cleaning and linens on req…
I've been asked to price cleanouts on a batch of 12 units for a manager who takes back a steady number of them after eviction. Scope reads as debris removal and a make-ready clean…
I've been going back and forth on which side of this business to try, and staging keeps coming up because it looks like the cheapest thing to start. Two stagers in my area adverti…
Career changer here, starting from nothing. Every video says wholesaling off-market deals needs no money, and then the same video sells a $97 a month software subscription. So cle…
I renovated a house intending to sell outright, the scope ran over as usual, and now I'm considering carrying the paper instead of taking a thinner cash number. Something I don't…
Reading the framing that the deep discount at purchase is the engine and the resale is where the cash arrives, and it strikes me that almost every failure I've read about is on th…
I'm looking at my first performing note, single family, borrower current for about four years. The seller emailed a list of what gets delivered at closing: original note, allonge,…
Contract at $182,000, buyer at $221,000, so $39,000 gross. Buyer's agent saw the assignment amount on the draft statement and now they want a double close so their client isn't st…
I'm reading the lease summary on a dollar store building, 9,100 square feet, and the listing says NNN in big letters. Then page three of the abstract says landlord is responsible…
Reading a guarantee form on a 12 month August-to-July lease. The student is a sophomore and the parent signs as guarantor for the full term. If the student transfers in December,…
I'm new at this, so here's the beginner question from the back of the room. When people here talk about conversions the numbers are in the millions. I want to know what the floor…
Reviewing a $34M multifamily acquisition. $11.5M of LP equity, bridge debt at SOFR plus 340 with a rate cap that expires in 14 months, interest-only, two 12-month extension option…
Self-managing has been fine at two units and it's getting sloppy at four. Rent comes in three different ways, my repair receipts live in a photo album, and I did a lease renewal f…
Underwriting is what I spend my days on, so I want to sanity check the portfolio construction side rather than the deal side. If a typical equity offering has some real probabilit…
The term sheet on a rehab-to-rent loan I'm looking at has a line saying builder's risk binder required prior to first draw, naming the lender as mortgagee. I thought a landlord po…
I spent fourteen years doing site selection and trade area analysis for a grocery chain, mostly drive time modeling, cannibalization studies, and go/no-go on individual boxes. Lef…
Modeling acquisition three on paper before I commit to anything, and the lending side is where it falls apart. Current picture I'm working from: property one PITI $1,850, market r…
