I have a script draft and I keep rewriting the same line. Option one, I say up front that I'm an investor, I buy at a discount, and I may resell or pass the contract to another bu…
I've got a gain coming from a value-add sale and the ten-year hold is the part I can't get comfortable with, more than the zone maps or the reporting changes. The program pays you…
I'm about to carry paper for the first time on a small parcel, 68k price, 14k down, so a 54k note at 8% over 15 years with a balloon at year five. Everything I've read is about wr…
Picked up a performing first where taxes and insurance are not escrowed. Borrower pays the county and the carrier direct, has for six years, no lapse I can find. 74k balance, 9.25…

I do land and entitlement work, so I know one thing well and almost nothing about running apartments. Twice now someone has floated me being the GP on a small multifamily raise be…
Something in the current setup doesn't hold together for me and I want to argue it out with people who are actually running dispo. The share-of-spread arrangement made sense when…
I've been going back and forth on this for months and I want to see where the room splits. The pitch for vouchers is that the government portion arrives regardless of what happens…
Two of the owners we work with are moving units to furnished 30 day minimums, and since my small service team handles those turnovers, I've spent the last few weeks trying to figu…

Someone I know is buying into a 60-unit building and asked me whether it needs on-site staff. I said probably, then spent the drive home realizing I couldn't defend it. So, plainl…
