For an investor opening a brokerage account with a modest sum to put toward real estate exposure without buying a building, the two paths are usually a broad REIT index fund or fi…
Studying for my license now and most of the material is about representing buyers and sellers. Nothing in it touches REITs, which made me wonder whether buying them for my own acc…
Closed on 40 acres of mostly wooded ground with road frontage, 240k, in a county two hours from where I live. Compensation structure: flat 6,500 to my broker, agreed in writing be…
Buyer representation forms across brokerages carry language that deserves a plain reading rather than the form's own phrasing. Three things worth stating plainly rather than in th…
For anyone pricing a voucher compliance service for small landlords, two questions tend to determine whether it is a real offering or a guess. On cost to participate: most public…
I've got seven doors, mostly small stuff I bought and fixed over the last three years, and two of them are killing me on turnover. One has had four tenants in 26 months. Every tur…
Getting my license and doing a lot of reading on the side, and BRRRR keeps coming up as the thing people do when they don't have much money. But every worked example I find starts…

A guy I had done subcontract work for bought a 1958 ranch, three bed one and a half bath, in a decent working class pocket. Purchase 168k, his money, his loan. I did the rehab: fu…
Take a BRRRR deal worth modeling two ways. Purchase at 110,000, rehab at 50,000, 160,000 all in. ARV at 205,000, refinance at 75 percent gives 153,000 back, leaving 7,000 in the d…
Three previous BRRRRs left me with capital stuck in all three. This one didn't, and the difference was almost entirely that I underwrote the after repair value low on purpose and…
Consider a hypothetical aggregation of 12 parks, roughly 1,050 pads, mostly 1970s builds in secondary midwest and southeast markets, master metered water, expense ratio around 44…
My agent asked what the top of my budget is. I said $260k and my actual ceiling is closer to $310k on the right building. I held back because I've watched a friend get walked stea…
For owners of voucher units, the requested rent amount is one of the more contested decisions at lease-up and turn, and two defensible strategies both work in practice. Asking the…
Say a first purchase has narrowed to two single family houses, both around 1,100 square feet, both older, with Section 8 in mind for the payment reliability. Cosmetic items are ex…
