Before I fund anything connected to this, I want to understand the model. What I've read says virtual wholesaling needs no money because you assign the contract instead of buying…
I'm planning to sell a small rental sometime in the next year or two and I've never sold anything before. Someone at a meetup told me the seller doesn't pay the buyer's agent at a…
I ask the questions I'd be embarrassed to ask out loud, so here's one. I have two contracts I can't move, small fees, maybe $12,000 combined if they close. An operator with someth…
I said duplex and rental income on the phone and got back a quote for a landlord policy, which confused me because I'm living in the other side. When I said that, the agent said w…
Our 88-unit age-restricted rental has residents aging into needing a little help, and we're losing them to an assisted living 20 minutes away at roughly double the monthly. The pi…
I'm reading a package on a 240-unit facility. The first page says 93% occupied. Then the rent roll shows a bunch of units at $49 when the website advertises $89 for the same size,…
A friend of a friend lists high-end houses and mentioned in passing that she'd "put about thirty into" a listing before it sold. I assumed she meant thirty thousand dollars of her…
I've been pricing out the back office side of a small park before I get any further. Lot rent collection on 30 lots doesn't sound like much, a bank deposit and a spreadsheet. But…
I work rural land, long holds, and I've been passing leads on parcels that don't fit my hold criteria. Small acreage, back taxes owed, heirs scattered across three states. Flat fe…
I'm getting my first rental sorted and reading around the investor side while I wait. Three different people quoted me wildly different numbers for what a seller lead costs. One s…
I manage rentals and I've been asked to help an owner who wants to sell off two of his doors. A marketing shop pitched me on running "sell my house fast" ads and passing me the ca…
I have about 4,200 addresses logged across six zip codes, built up over roughly nine months of routes. Every address goes into the same five-touch mail sequence. What I'm looking…
Before the rule change, as I understand it, the offer of compensation to the buyer's broker sat in the MLS listing field and the split happened more or less automatically through…
A regional operator asked me to scope a study on whether they should enter a secondary metro with a 200-unit build-to-rent pipeline. They want a recommendation, not a data dump. M…
Cabin is $140k, three bedrooms, gravel road, about 20 minutes from a state park entrance in an unincorporated part of the county. I called the planning office to ask what the perm…
Getting licensed and I want the cost side honest before I quit anything. What I have so far: pre-license course, about 500 exam fee, about 100 license application, about 200 backg…
I've been looking at the lending side mostly, but a borrower conversation turned into an offer to co-host two short-term rentals and now I'm trying to figure out what I'd need to…
A broker I know told me flatly that managing apartments for a fee requires a real estate broker license. Then I toured a 120-unit community and the on-site manager said she's neve…
Running the numbers on my coordination line and the fall-through rate is what's breaking it. Last four quarters I've opened right around 40 files a quarter and roughly 7 of them c…
I'm interviewing agents for a family property and read that the listing presentation is basically the pitch meeting. Two of them have offered to "come present," one just wants to…
