For about three years I've been doing conversion work on small licensed homes, trades side, which means I've seen the inside of a lot of these deals without owning one. Now an ope…
Working out what my first deal actually costs, and furniture is the line I keep rewriting. Quotes I have, buying mid range from a warehouse store and assembling myself: bed frame,…
Retainer client of two years, video and social for a small brokerage, gave notice last month. Amicable. Then the request came in: all raw footage, the edit project files, the cont…
My first rental is residential and closing soon, so I've spent months on screening tenants for houses. A 1,400 sf end bay in a small strip near me is for sale and the seller's lea…
I've got a 120-space lot on the edge of a downtown core, bought two years ago mostly for what it can become. There's a rezoning process running that could let a mid-rise happen on…
I've been tracking my own offers for the last fourteen months because I couldn't tell whether the inspection contingency was costing me deals or saving me money. Nine offers, four…
I've been comparing two finished cosmetic flips in the same metro, different price bands, and the material specs were nearly identical. Same builder white on the walls, same LVP,…
I run thin. Two to four rehabs going, and my whole advantage is being the offer that closes without drama. Over the last two years I've done four deals where the listing agent wro…

I'm setting up a self-directed IRA to move about 60k of old retirement money into real estate paper, and the two custodian fee models I've been quoted are shaped completely differ…
I move slowly on everything, and I've been circling this sector for about a year without doing anything. What's stopping me is the timing question, and I'd like to see how the roo…
I asked four people to quote the same job: listing copy, twelve social posts, one short walkthrough edit, for a single family rental I'm putting up for lease in the spring. I aske…
I have enough down payment for a 6-unit comfortably or a 14-unit if I bring in one partner and keep almost nothing in reserve beyond the required escrows. The 6-unit is mine alone…
I've been building my scope sheets off walkthrough video and photos, and I'm now arguing with myself about when the sheet becomes final. Two approaches I've watched people use. Lo…
Eleven rooms, three full baths and a half bath on the main floor. Code minimum here is one full bath per five residents, so I am compliant with room to spare, and my plumber has q…
I manage rentals for a handful of the buyers these wholesalers keep selling to, so I got dragged into this argument sideways and now I'm in it. The group is five people, mostly pa…
Annual inspection on one of my rentals is scheduled for next week and I've got a conflict. Options are drive an hour each way and meet the inspector at the door, or leave the key…
