I'm getting ready to list a piece of vacant land, gently rolling, mostly cleared, a seasonal creek along one edge. Nothing on it. No structures, no driveway, one gate. A local sho…
I priced out three ways to get notice-of-default leads in the two counties I can drive and the spread is bigger than I expected. Paid platform with daily pulls: about 129 a month,…
The recovery case rests on absorption overtaking deliveries and staying there long enough for rents to firm. Everyone models the pipeline contraction. Almost nobody models the res…
I've read the FHA multi-unit path a few times now and it makes sense to me: buy up to a fourplex, live in one, low down payment because you're an owner-occupant. Clear enough. Wha…
I've got a small position in a pooled fund, about 2k, and it pays out quarterly. Last payment was $41. When I signed up there was a checkbox for automatic reinvestment and I ticke…
Two notes, offered the same week, tend to split a room every time they are described. First: a 41k balance on a 900 square foot house in a small town where the mill closed. The bo…
I have been mapping how the land guys I follow structure their lead delivery and there are two camps that both look defensible on paper, so I want to see where this room lands. Ca…
I do renovations. Someone told me the natural next step from gut jobs is a small ground-up commercial shell, a 6,000 square foot retail building on a pad, because it's the simples…
For anyone bird dogging with limited hours a week, the two ways of working produce very different results. Option one is picking a single situation type and covering a whole count…
Six sales a year, average around $340k. Listing side runs me about 2.5%, call it $8,500 a sale, $51k a year going out the door. That's a full renovation budget on one of my smalle…
Say a wholesaler sends over a single family contract and asks for help finding a buyer, complete with 22 photos, a walkthrough video, and a repair estimate, for a property well ou…
A few deals in and I am hitting the ceiling on leads that come from people I already know. So the next question is who runs the paid side. The case for doing it myself: the budget…
A typical franchise structure runs around 6 percent of gross commission plus a monthly fee and a marketing contribution, in exchange for the brand name, a training library, a refe…
I hold about 30 acres of raw ground at the edge of a metro that got hit hard by the delivery wave. Three projects within two miles of me are either paused or dead, and the pipelin…
Reading this room for a few weeks and there are two clearly different practices in it and both are defended by people who've done more than I have. The first says: most certificat…
I'm still working out what the first deal costs me, and one of the line items I keep moving around is a part time VA. Budget is about $700 a month, so 15 hours a week at agency ra…
Comparing brokered loans against direct-sourced loans on flip and BRRRR refinance files over time tends to surface a clear pattern. Brokered files often average a slightly better…
I'm most of the way through the licensing process and I've realized I never decided what happens to the reverse wholesaling side afterward. The case for keeping it as an assignmen…
I've now looked at four notes where the pay history is spotless for a year and a half and the reason it's spotless is a modification that cut the payment. The seller's tape calls…
A cleanout crew working probate estates sits at an interesting intersection, because the same job can be priced two very different ways depending on who the customer actually is.…
