Reading a buyer representation agreement for a first small rental and the compensation page has a line I didn't expect. If the firm ends up representing both sides, the buyer side…
I've been shooting turn units for a couple of small landlords and the occupied ones are where my process falls apart. One owner wants media 30 days before lease end so he can pre-…
I'm two weeks into opening a self-directed IRA and I've read the fee schedule four times. There's an annual account fee, a per-asset holding fee, and a transaction fee each time m…
My IRA has about $40,000 in it. Rural markets around me have livable single-family houses in the $55,000 to $70,000 range, so all cash is out of reach unless prices drop. Somebody…
I look at cheap dirt in thin markets, so nobody should copy these numbers into a metro. Bought both from the same estate. 11 acres and 8 acres, adjoining, in a county with maybe 9…
Project is a 1990s builder-luxury house in a strong high-end submarket, 4,600 square feet, target 4.1M. Purchase 2.44M, reno budgeted at 720k, currently trending 785k before this.…
I've been running small rental positions for years and started doing land assignments as a side channel about eighteen months ago. The change worth reporting is a targeting one, a…
I mostly research land and holding patterns, so buying a house to live in feels like a different sport, and I want to check whether I understand the basic shape of this before I s…
Writing this out because I want somebody else to catch it earlier than I did. I bought a townhouse at 249k with an FHA loan, 3.5% down, so 8,715 out of pocket plus about 4,200 in…
I have both a traditional rollover IRA and a Roth, and enough in each that either one could buy a small single family rental with cash. The custodian doesn't care which I use. I d…
Working a 180-unit garden deal, wood frame over slab, total cost landing around $46m all in. That's about $255k a unit which for this market is not crazy. Lender indications are c…
I'm new to most of this and I came in as a small LP, so the credit here belongs to the sponsor. But I read every document on this one twice and I want to write down what actually…
Bought a first lien in a judicial state in early 2024. Unpaid balance $96,300, note rate 4.875%, payment $711, borrower 14 months down. Single family three bed one bath, drive-by…
I own a 1,100 square foot house on a corner lot, free of any loan, bought it years ago and lived in it since. Detached two-car garage at the back with alley access, 480 square fee…
Occupancy year is nearly up on the duplex I live in and the plan was always to move out, rent my side, and do it again on a bigger building in the next metro over. Two snags. My l…
I've been trying to figure out which acquisition channel actually fits me and cold calling was winning on volume and losing on cost. Last spring I ran three VA dialers at $10.50/h…
A guy I know from a small owners group is 42 units into a portfolio and hit the wall everybody's hitting. Loan from 2019, low fours, maturing. New quote was over six and the proce…
I do passive stuff and read paperwork for fun, and I've been trying to work out the real cost base of the listing business because someone in another thread said 2.5% is mostly pr…
1,340 square foot three bed one and a half bath ranch, 1958, in a first-ring suburb where the buyers are mostly people priced out of the city. Bought at $198k, put $61k into it, a…
I put 61k into a light rehab as a passive participant, 12 percent with a 6 point exit fee on a 60 day projected hold, secured second behind a hard money first. Operator buys at 24…
