Five years into running my own service business, I've done work on plenty of flips without ever understanding the vocabulary the owners use on the phone. Everybody says ARV. After…
Three offering documents in front of me, all restated since last summer when the incentive was made permanent under P.L. 119-21. In all three, the language about winding up got lo…
I got a number back from a construction manager on a small two-unit I'm circling. Fourteen percent of hard cost to run scope, bids, draws, and inspections, with me signing checks…
I've done four deals with outside money now and the fourth one is the only reason I'm posting, because it took one email. Deal one, two years ago: 145k of equity from three people…
I've been reading loan documents and partnership agreements more than listings, and one split keeps showing up in this room that nobody seems to settle. Say someone has 700k of re…
Got offered an allocation in a private open-ended real estate fund. 100k minimum, quarterly redemption with gate language that let them suspend, marks published quarterly by the m…
Two things landed on me in the same week and I have to answer both by the end of the month. Offer one. A flipper doing about 20 houses a year wants me as an in-house project manag…
I've been circling flips for a while because the numbers on paper look better than anything else I can find, but I don't want a second job and I definitely don't want to swing a h…
I want income without picking up a second job, which is why the exchange-traded version of real estate appeals to me at all. But every thread I read here about REITs turns into se…
Sold a side-by-side duplex last quarter, 1970s, both units 2/1, one tenant-occupied on a lease with 8 months left and one vacant since a move-out in the fall. Basis was 196k, I li…
Five offerings have come across in the last four months and four of them are credit. Two are first time debt funds from equity shops that have never originated a loan, one is a tr…
A partner in an 88-key extended stay wanted out badly enough to sell into a market of one. The units had been marked by the sponsor at $300k. I paid $186k, in cash, with the spons…
I'm pricing out the operating side of a small independent, roughly 30 rooms, before I go any further on the numbers. Someone told me the property management system for a place tha…
Trying to make an apples to apples comparison and I don't think I can. On the portal: a five year multifamily equity deal, 11% target IRR, 1.5x equity multiple, distributions star…
The number everybody quotes for timberland is a standard deviation around 6.9 percent against almost 16 for the S&P, with long-run annualized returns near 10.7 since the index sta…
I read the ATTOM first-quarter 2026 numbers this week. Filings 118,727, up 26 percent year over year. Starts 82,631, up 20. Bank repossessions 14,020, up 45. More than twelve stra…
Everything is new here so forgive the level of this. I looked at two of these. One said $2,500 minimum and asked nothing about my income. The other had a form asking me to certify…
Framing job last week, one of the guys says he put 30k into a private REIT through some platform and he can't get it out for two years. He said it like it was a good thing. I've b…
Detached 480 sf one bedroom, prefab shell set on a slab in my backyard, finished last fall. Renting at $1,595. Total spend $131,400 including site work, utility runs, permits, and…
I called my insurance agent to ask what happens when the backyard unit is done and she said the current homeowners policy won't cover a rented second dwelling, that we'd need to r…
