I'm putting numbers on a small shop, six or seven agents, and I keep hitting the same fork. Two owners let me sit with their P&L and they do this opposite ways. The first runs a 7…
I've been reading listing agreements for practice because I want to understand the service side before I ever sign one. The commission line is easy to read. What the seller gets f…
I own land and a few small holdings, so I'm on the buying side of this, and I've hired cleanout crews maybe eight times in five years. Twice this year a guy who does mowing for me…
The sponsor is a storage operator I've never worked with. Three ground-up facilities, all climate controlled, roughly 78,000 net rentable square feet each. Total cost $41M, constr…
Someone asked me last week which number to check first on a hospitality deck when you've never done one, and I gave an answer I'm no longer sure about. I want to see if the room s…
I've got 60k that's earmarked for real estate exposure and no operating role in it either way, so the question is purely which wrapper. Option A is listed REITs. Daily pricing, se…
A woman two streets over from my mother's place had a 3/2 rental she'd owned since the nineties, tenant paying 780 in a market that supports 1,350, and she'd stopped answering the…
Under contract at 142. Assigned to a buyer at 159, so $17k to me, standard one-page assignment, non-refundable $5k deposit from him at signing. He's now telling me he can't close…
I've been mapping which of the 2025 statutes reach land deals and the drafting isn't consistent. Some definitions of brokerage cover real estate generally, which sweeps in raw acr…
Trying to read a submarket and the published numbers and the property-level numbers don't agree at all. The market report says asking rents in this submarket are down 1.4% year ov…
I've been building the buy list for six months and the screen finally spits out something I don't trust. What I rank on: forward deliveries as a percent of existing stock over the…
Five months of pulling addresses off my own job sites and off the pre-foreclosure and tax-delinquent lists at the county. 41 leads passed to four investors. 3 closed. I got $1,500…
Still mostly on the paper side of things and confused about most of it, but this one bothers me. Every data source I read about, court probate filings, tax delinquency rolls, pre-…
My three parks run 42, 39 and 67 lots, all within about 90 minutes of each other. For two years I used an onsite resident manager at each, paid in a lot rent credit plus a small m…
Four people are in a 31 acre hold I put together, 620k total, 380k of it theirs. It's raw ground on the edge of a growth path, we pay taxes and mow it and that's the whole busines…
I spent a weekend building a grid of every live offering I could see across three platforms. 41 offerings, 12 distinct sponsors. Four of those sponsors appear on more than one pla…
I've been running numbers and looking at deals for a couple of years without pulling the trigger, and people around me have picked up on it. Two former coworkers, an uncle, and a…
Six mainstream flips behind me, purchase prices 300k to 600k, and I've hit the point where the returns per deal don't justify the hours. So I'm looking at a listing I keep going b…
