The ingestion side of my seller lead platform is held together with a scheduled scraper, a Zapier chain, an Airtable base and two Google Sheets doing work no sheet should do. It h…
This one's done and funded so I can write it up. Tract was 240 acres of pine in a mixed-age condition, listed at 1.02M, sat for seven months. The listing mentioned "active timber…
Fifteen weeks in, one closed deal, and I can now say exactly which 1,400 I set on fire. I bought a list of 2,100 out-of-state owners for a three county area. Then I filtered it th…
1,500 square foot two story, bought at 171, spent 24 on paint, LVP, carpet upstairs, fixtures, and a bathroom vanity swap. All-in 202 with closing and two months of carry. My agen…
Trades background, so I've been on plenty of flips as the guy doing the work and never as the guy signing anything. Now I'm reading the other side of it and something bugs me. The…
I was looking at putting money behind a small operator who wanted to drop three prefab units on three lots he already controlled in a first-ring suburb. Part of my diligence was s…
Small one, and I mostly want to write down how it went because everything I read about mezz before this was written for people moving ten times the money. A sponsor I'd co-investe…
Three years ago I put $50k into a 96-unit apartment deal, which was most of what I'd saved toward my own first purchase. I chose it because the sponsor's materials said 27 deals c…
Five of us across four rural counties have been sending each other deals informally for about eight months. Volume is low and the price points are low, which is the whole reason w…
I want the boring version of this that works, so forgive the blunt framing. My understanding of wholesaling is that the whole business is the buyer list. If you have 200 real cash…
I've been reading through public filings for the listed data center owners because I wanted to understand what a passive holder actually pays out of the rent before anything reach…
Two offerings crossed my desk in the same week and they're close to identical on paper. Both are 1990s vintage, both leased by the bed, both roughly 100 beds, both about half a mi…
The seller's tape said 5.0% fixed on an $88,300 balance. The original note said 6.875%. That's how I found the mods. There were two of them, one from 2016 and one from 2020, both…
I've been looking at small rentals in a rural county for a while and a few people who own land out here have started asking me what I think about their properties, mostly because…
Followup to the market summary question I posted a while back. That job happened, badly priced, and it turned into something. The original $600 became a $2,900 fixed scope once we…
This is the first thing I have ever looked at seriously, so apologies if the question is obvious. A 15 site campground came up at 340k. Ten sites with water and electric, five ten…
My agent told me flat out that the policy on my acreage won't extend to paying guests, and that I'd need to be rewritten commercially. Fine. Then he asked what amenities I'd have…
I've been reading the summary on a data center fund and the distribution number they quote includes something they call power and infrastructure reimbursement. As far as I can tel…
A note holder I'd been talking to for a year had a wrap he wanted cash out of, and I didn't want the whole thing. So I bought a partial, and what I bought was the spread, not the…
Closed a 14 over 3 in a mid-size midwest city last month. 14 apartments, 6,200 square feet of ground floor split into three bays, one of them dark at contract. The listing was mar…
