Our storage yard lease runs out in March. We are paying $1,450 a month for a fenced half acre with a container and gravel, and the landlord has already floated $1,700. Over ten ye…
This is the allocation I've been circling since summer and I have to decide before year end because one of the funds closes. The fund: value-add multifamily, Sun Belt and lower mi…
We took on a sponsor client in July whose entire investor record lives in spreadsheets plus a shared drive. 340 unique LPs, 11 deal entities, three of them from 2018 and 2019 vint…
Someone I trust forwarded me a deck for a self-storage fund. Minimum is $50k, which is most of what I have set aside, so I want to understand it before I do anything. The fees I c…
Small town, population under 4,000, about 40 minutes from anything. 3/2 on 5.1 acres, well and septic, built 1996. Seller inherited a job transfer she can't refuse and is two paym…
I've been sitting with the interest rate sensitivity disclosure on an agency mortgage REIT and I think it's telling me something the summary doesn't. The table gives estimated cha…
An agency told me I can't run ads to my own site because the page is slow and has nothing on it that asks for a phone number, and quoted $650 to build a landing page for one 40 ac…
24 agents, 18 of them closed at least one side in the last 12 months. Trailing numbers: 118 closings, average GCI per side $8,900, so roughly $1.05M gross company dollar 22%, call…
Been building this slowly for about seven months and I've reached the part where I have to pick a business model, which I've been avoiding. What exists: 240,000 owner records acro…
Three units, two 2-bedrooms and a 1-bedroom in the back. The 2-beds are rented at 1,250 and 1,225, both tenants over a year, both pay on the first. The 1-bed has been empty since…
I've got two 8-unit buildings under contract as a package, six blocks from a regional public university in the upper midwest. 16 units, mostly 3 bed, leased by the unit rather tha…

Spec build, 3,100 sq ft, finishing in about five weeks. Stager came back with the agreement and I'm stuck on a few clauses before I sign. Terms: 9,800 install for 11 spaces, 90 da…
Been building the first deal budget for months and I finally ran the crowdfunding version side by side against the small rental version, because at some point I have to pick a lan…
Deal in front of me. Operator buys a duplex at 210k with his own bridge, my 90k funds the rehab, and I'm repaid from the cash-out refinance at an agreed return. He's projecting af…
I'm nowhere near doing this, I just wanted to see the GP economics from the inside instead of reading about promotes in the abstract. So I built a fake deal and paid myself in the…
Last year I started assigning contracts remotely, mostly to feed acquisition cash into the small rental portfolio I hold. Eleven months in, two states, neither of them where I liv…
I have a buyer lined up before I have a property, which was the whole point, and I've been drafting the paper in advance so I'm not doing it under time pressure. Buyer is a small…
I've framed and hung board for twelve years, so the one thing I thought I'd never have to outsource is looking at a house. Turns out the market where my calls are actually landing…
