someone asked, the room worked it out
There are two opposite stories going around about finding rough houses. Someone in my area told me to just drive neighborhoods and write down houses that look rough, and someone e…
Pricing is what I'm wrestling with here, and I'd rather work it out than copy whatever the last quote in the market was. Deal in front of me: $40m stabilized value, $26m senior fi…
I'm walking a 1984 tower, 14 floors, 22,000 sf plates, and the distance from curtain wall to core is about 40 feet on the long elevation. Slab to slab is 12'8". Single central cor…
I'm putting together my first syndicated deal, small multifamily, about 6m of equity needed. Someone I met through a broker says he can bring 4m of it from his own investor list.…
Trades background, mostly commercial mechanical, so I'm coming at this from the pipe end rather than the money end. An office floor has maybe two wet stacks serving a core restroo…
I look at low price point rural stuff, mostly $50k to $90k houses, and I've gone through four different programs' free content plus one paid course at $1,500. All of them assume a…
An inherited house is going on the market and the listing agent has used three phrases in two conversations. She said the place needs staging, then said we could do soft staging t…
My agent gave me three names for the inspection on a $310,000 house. I picked the middle one, $475. Then someone told me you should never use an agent's list because the inspector…
I've been holding land and I'm looking at putting some of it into an actual rented house, so I'm building the comparison from scratch and I don't trust my own conclusion yet. Deal…
I've spent most of my time on land and zoning, so the operating side of a storage facility is new territory. A vendor sent me a quote for a management platform that was priced per…
Everything I read frames the REIT-to-private valuation gap as a reason to deploy into listed. My underwriting keeps producing the other resolution. Concretely: my private open-end…
Looking at an upcoming deed sale in a county I know the construction side of well. Parcel is a 1940s balloon-frame house, opening bid $9,400, which is four years of taxes plus fee…
Been talking to a seller about a house on a double lot (the lot is honestly the part I want). His agent told me the seller would "wrap" his loan to me, then in the next sentence c…
Trying to understand the rent side before I understand anything else. My understanding is that there's a published number per bedroom count for an area and the housing authority w…
Pulled the numbers apart properly for the first time. 340 doors, average rent $1,455, we charge 9 percent on collected rent, so base management revenue per door per month is about…
A developer sent a neighbor of a parcel I'm watching an option agreement for a solar lease, something like $35 an acre a year for the option period and then a lot more if they bui…
Reading a listing media agreement before a client signs it. The grant clause licenses the images to the listing brokerage "for the term of the listing agreement, for marketing of…
An investor reached out about coordinating work on two of his rentals. In one sentence he asked if I could "put a rehab crew together" and in the next he asked whether I was a lic…
Nine deals, 240 LP positions, 170 unique households after I dedupe the joint accounts and the two people who invested through both an IRA and a trust. Two quotes on the table. An…
I'd like to end up with the one that actually works, so I'm doing diligence on two programs before I spend $9,000. Both have testimonial pages. Both have a number on the homepage,…
