Trying to learn the structure on a deal I passed on last month, a 62-unit in Rockford that stalled at about 40 percent of its $3.2M equity target before the sponsor pulled it. The…
An agency mREIT trading at 0.87x book gets called cheap in almost every screen I see, and the discount is real, but the question it does not answer is whether the book value itsel…
She said it offhand, not as a fight, just while we were talking about the Dayton STR and what I should do with cash if I decide to wind it down. I mentioned I had been putting som…
Most medical leases I study either omit percentage rent entirely or include a boilerplate clause written for retail, and the collision between the two is where the problem lives.…
A surface lot near a medical campus used to be the easiest underwrite in parking. Captive demand, predictable monthly contracts, low turnover, and a building that costs nothing to…
I used the cabin in Barnegat Township for eleven personal days in March and another four in October. Total rental nights for the year came to 61. That ratio, 15 personal to 61 ren…

Trying to figure this out because I have $58k sitting in an SDIRA and a sponsor I've worked with before is offering LP interests in a 72-unit value-add in Tucson. The IRA would ow…
