Our small service team is parked next to closings all week, so this question comes up from first time buyers constantly and I don't think the answer is obvious. In a lot of states…
I put 400k into an open-end debt fund in late 2022. Weighted average LTV on the tape was 63, average coupon 10.4, mostly bridge and a slug of construction. Target net was 8 to 9.…
This belongs in the passive room as a warning about the word. A friend who'd managed restaurants found a 9-room inn in a small tourist town, walkable to a state park entrance, doi…
Reading through a purchase agreement I marked up last week and the inspection period language is where the whole cost question lives. On land the killers are title, not condition.…
I've spent most of my investing life on land and long holds, so nightly rentals are new ground for me and I'm asking as a beginner here. Two things landed on my list in the same m…
Bought a 1,100 sf three bed in a tired but stable suburb last spring. It's rented now at $1,650 and the rehab finished at $39,400 against a $38,000 budget. Everything I read befor…
I do the construction reporting for a sponsor's LP letters. Photos, budget against contract, schedule slippage, that section of the update. Up to now I write it, he pastes it in,…
Not a big deal and I'm posting it because the small version worked and I want to know what I got lucky on. I didn't go to an auction. The county keeps a list of certificates that…
I run small multifamily and I'm underwriting a house I'd convert to six rooms. Gross at 850 per room is 5,100 a month. I've got utilities all-in at 480, internet 90, cleaning of c…
I mostly deal with land and zoning, so I read the ordinance before I did anything else, which for once was the right order. The house: 4 bed 1.5 bath, inherited, free and clear, a…
Reading a purchase agreement my buddy sent over for a second set of eyes and I've got a clause problem I can't resolve from the document alone. Setup: estate is the seller, PR sig…
The chapter says the established practice is leading with empathy and positioning yourself as a resource, and I keep bouncing off that sentence. I'm mostly land and long holds so…
I've been shooting listings solo for five years, mostly photo plus a short vertical video, and I turned down eleven jobs in March because I couldn't be in two places. So I hired s…
An agent I've been talking to says she'll send me two listings a month if I can turn photos around in 24 hours. Before I say yes I want to know what running this actually costs ev…
Buyer list build, seven months of data, and I'm at the point where the next dollar has to go somewhere specific. Spend: $1,150 a month all in. That's $650 to a part-time editor at…
Looking at a small content shop as a bolt-on. 18 retainer clients, blended $1,400 a month, $302k trailing revenue, owner draw $95k, two contract editors doing the edit volume. Sel…
I've got the renovation side clear in my head. What I don't have clear is the first ninety days, when you own a house that doesn't produce anything and needs 40k of work. The opti…
I bought a drone for the analysis-stage version of me who was going to photograph land I was thinking about buying. Now an agent I know says her seller would love an aerial of the…
Cosmetic flip, 1,650 square feet, three bed two bath in a decent school zone. All in at $268k, listed at $339k. My agent's photographer wanted $310 for a standard photo set. She t…
Trying to price out the closing side before I bring a wrap idea to a seller I know. Assume a 300k sale, 240k underlying at around 4, wrap note in the 270k range at 7. What I want…
