Run a small management shop, four people, about 190 doors mostly small multifamily. One of my longer-standing owners just sold a 6-unit on a wrap and asked whether I'll handle the…
Park is 58 sites in a mountain market, two hours from a metro, decent but not spectacular natural draw. Seller gave me two years of monthly revenue and it's the cleanest seasonal…
The parcel is 44 acres, agricultural zoning, two miles from a substation with visible capacity headroom and a rail spur on the far boundary. I've held it eight years at a basis th…
Been following the industrial supply correction for a couple of months now and the story is pretty consistent. Vacancy around 6.7 percent at the end of 2025, construction starts w…
Underwriting a partnership is the same problem as underwriting a deal. You look for where the value goes when things break. In a JV wholesale the contract with the seller is where…
Working out my service offer while I finish getting licensed. Every systems consultant I've looked at prices one of two ways. Either a flat build, call it 3,000 to 8,000, hand ove…
I own six single family rentals in a rural county, purchase prices between $58k and $92k. Rents are $700 to $875. I'm the only person in this business. My wife handles the mail. I…
I've been reading a mezz loan package for practice, no money in it, and the collateral section stopped me. The senior lender has a mortgage on the property. The mezz lender has a…
Reading two offerings side by side and they're barely the same product. One is a single-asset QOF, 88 units, one tract, sponsor is local and has built four of these. I can drive t…
I've been listening to people talk about BRRRR for a while and I've been pretending to follow. Writing down what I think each word means so someone can correct me. ARV, after repa…
I've been reading this room for a couple of weeks and I can't tell which way the room actually leans on this one. The case for starting with BRRRR: if it works, the money comes ba…
I ended up with a house I didn't want. Seller-financed note I'd bought at a discount, borrower stopped paying, and after a long stretch we took title through a deed in lieu. How t…
I got invited onto a call I had no business being on. A friend from an investor group is raising preferred equity into a refinance of a mid-90s garden apartment property, about 18…
Everything written about this model says renting four rooms beats renting the house. Fine. But the premium has to have a ceiling, because at some point the per-room rent times the…
Two houses, 7 rooms total, both running as separate room leases. Through 2023 every single lease ended between July 15 and August 31 because that's when I signed the first ones an…
Bought a four unit last month, $585,000, small city, plan is a light rehab and hold. First real title mess I've been through, so writing it up for anyone who thinks the search is…
First one went okay, mostly by luck. This one is a slightly bigger lot in the same county and when I filed for the permit they came back asking for a stormwater management plan an…
I get one real day a week for this and I keep splitting it badly. My background is on the build side, so from the street I can tell you a roof has two layers on it, the gutters ha…
The gain wasn't mine directly, it came through a K-1 from a partnership that sold an industrial building in June. My share of the gain was $237k. I'd already picked a fund, had th…
Working through something on the debt side. Say I sell a seasoned performing note portfolio at a gain and I want that gain to go into a QOF rather than pay tax on it now. Two thin…
