A fund deck for a storage portfolio will show a revenue line called tenant protection plan income, in this case at just under 8 percent of total revenue, with a footnote saying it…
A subscription package for a multifamily deal will often say the LPs get an 8 percent preferred return, non-compounding and non-cumulative, then an 80/20 split above that. Elsewhe…
Low price points make mid-term look attractive on paper, because a 90,000 house with a 1,100 furnished rent is a much better ratio than anything in the city. The problem in a rura…
Two claims about BRRRR circulate that do not fit together, and anyone who prefers the boring, dependable kind of investing should reconcile them before starting. One version says…
Everything I read about wholesaling says build a buyers list, dozens of names, email blasts. Everything I read about reverse wholesaling says get one buyer and go find what they w…
Anyone building a small service business around real estate ends up circling photography. One property manager will say her last vendor showed up with an iPhone on a gimbal and th…
A buyer looking for one or two hands off rentals talks to an agent who says he gets turnkey properties with tenants in place before they hit the market. He will not send any addre…
A sponsor doing single asset syndications, four to twelve investors each and a new PPM every time, eventually finds the legal bill each round hard to justify. The advice that circ…
Take a 5 acre parcel owned by an out of state heir who has never seen it and wants $9k, in an area where a builder would likely pay around $25k for similar acreage. The spread loo…

Trying to get $6M into certificates over roughly 18 months across three states. Two problems are eating the model and I can't tell which one is the real one. First, cash drag. The…
Put two proposals side by side. One says 6,000 dials a month. The other says 4 percent contact rate and does not mention dials at all. For someone coming to this from the notes an…
Take an investor with a $1.4M long term gain from a business sale comparing two QOFs. One is single asset, ground up multifamily, and the sponsor openly models a year 6 or year 7…
A question for the people running heavy renovations. The ads aimed at builders cover project management platforms, deal analyzer subscriptions, takeoff software and more, and it i…
Vocabulary worth getting straight before anyone funds a first loan. Rates get written like "11 and 2." The 11 is annual interest. The 2 is points, and a point is one percent of th…
