This strategy keeps coming up as the low money route to rental income for someone who does not want a second job, so it is worth being precise about the entry cost. The pitch: buy…
Sizing a first allocation and the reserve line is where my model falls apart. Plan is roughly $4M across three or four states, average certificate around $4,400 face, so call it 9…
Every article about this sector talks in billions and megawatts, and it ranks first for investment demand, so I assumed there was no entry point for someone with a few hundred dol…
Reading through the due-on-sale part and I don't understand the risk math. The seller's mortgage says the lender can demand full payment if the property transfers. In a wrap the p…
I've been reading development threads for a while and everyone throws around "entitled land" like it's obvious. I thought it just meant zoned correctly. But then someone said a si…
Career changing into this and I'm starting from nothing. What I pictured was an agent opening the door, you like the house, you sign, done. Then someone in another forum said the…
Take a subscription package for a 100k check with two items that do not line up. The fee schedule shows a 1 percent placement fee. Then the operating agreement issues Class B inte…
A property manager whose owners include a couple of flippers will eventually hear "just push it to your buyer list" when one of them gets a house under contract. Most managers in…
Here is a set of planned numbers for virtual wholesaling in a single out of state market, the kind a newcomer to the strategy would rather have corrected early. Ten thousand text…
A guy I did some framing work for years back is now wholesaling and he told me his attorney does his assignment paperwork for $500 flat, whatever the deal size. He made it sound l…
Draft co hosting agreements often carry two clauses that do not sit together. One says the co host will be added to the owner's existing Airbnb account. Another says the co host i…
Consider an investor whose tax advantaged space is close to full, so the incremental dollar has to go into a taxable brokerage account. The standard line is that REITs belong in t…
Plenty of town websites list a short term rental registration, a transient occupancy tax account, and a general business license as three separate items with three separate fees.…
I'm about to close on my first rental but my brother in law wants me to look at a shell his neighbor is selling, and it's a proper gut. No kitchen, no furnace, back wall opened up…
I'm mostly a long-hold land person so this isn't my usual lane, but I've had two people this month describe themselves to me as bird dogs and they clearly meant different things.…
A typical stager's agreement rewards a second reading, because the fee structure is stranger than most sellers expect. There is a design fee that is non refundable, then an instal…
Bird dogging keeps coming up as the answer for people with no money, and that is fair as far as it goes. But nearly every description frames it as a stepping stone to wholesaling,…
Everything I read about probate says build attorney relationships, they'll feed you deals. Nobody explains what that looks like from the attorney's side. Why would a lawyer whose…
Seen from the capital side, reverse wholesaling reads backwards from the usual model, and the first step is the murky one. Everyone says get the buyer first. But what does that co…
Worth working out how much of this sits on the investor. One position holds that hiring a vendor does not move the liability off the investor, because the calls are made for the i…
