Trying to work out which side of this business fits me and I keep hitting the commission math. The pitch I hear from sellers is that if the listing agent finds the buyer, everyone…
I do HVAC work and one of my regular customers owns maybe fifteen rentals. He said he'd pay me $7,000 a house if I brought him ones he ended up buying, since I'm in basements all…
I'm reading the paperwork on a licensed 6-bed home before I get too far in. The residents sign a "residency agreement," 30 days termination either side, and there's a separate rat…
I build, mostly framing and additions, and I'm starting to look at the sell side because I want to understand who I'm handing my houses to. An agent sent me a listing agreement to…

The deck for a 180 unit deal I'm looking at says "8% preferred return, then 70/30 split." A friend who owns bonds told me the pref works like a coupon, so I'd get 8 percent a year…
Working through a structure I've read about in a couple of places and don't fully follow. A building with 4,000 sf of ground-floor retail and twelve apartments above gets condomin…
Looking at a select service property where the P&L looks clean until you get to the segmentation report. Two crew contracts, both energy sector, are 41% of room nights at a negoti…
I'm looking at a 180 unit garden style deal, roughly 42 million total cost, 68 percent LTC construction debt, 24 month build plus 12 to stabilize. Trended rents are the whole ball…

Detached 780 sq ft, permitted, separately metered, own address, currently leased at $1,850. All in around $190,000 including the site work. Went for a cash-out refinance and the a…

I'm looking at selling the shop building my crew works out of and leasing something cheaper across town. Free and clear, no mortgage. The buyer who's most interested runs a simila…
