I've been sitting on 90 acres of mixed timber and pasture for a long time and finally decided to market off the back 30 as one tract. Hired a pilot who does mostly land work, Part…
Small house, tired, tenant gone, seller wanted out fast. I had it locked at a number and an end buyer at a higher one, and I was doing a double close because I take title on these…
I was finishing trim in a vacant townhouse when the listing photographer came through. I figured I'd be in his way for an hour. He was done and loading the car in about fifty minu…
A friend was listing her mother's house and had a work thing she couldn't move, so she asked me to let the photographer in and stay out of the way. I did not stay out of the way.…
I've been reading here for months and finally went to an actual in person thing, a local investor meetup at the back of a brewery. I expected houses. Everything I've read about wh…
So I sat in on a call I had no business being on. A guy I know does investor relations for a sponsor that buys hotels and he said come listen, you'll learn something. Twenty minut…
Needed a value on a piece of raw ground for an estate matter. I figured it'd be quick, it's a rectangle with a gravel access and a creek across one corner. The appraiser showed up…
We picked up a vineyard as a client last spring, mostly the tasting room and the event barn, standard stuff. Then in September they asked us to come at six in the morning ahead of…
I'm land and long holds and I don't do any of this, but I ended up at a small dinner where two people spent forty minutes arguing about pref equity and I finally admitted I didn't…
Did a full gut on a three bedroom for a guy who was going into the program with it for the first time. Kitchen, bath, all the flooring, new panel because the old one was a mess. G…
A sponsor I've been tracking for eventual first-deal reasons let me listen to a recap call. Not participating, just muted and listening, because I'd asked enough questions that he…
First rental purchase, closing in a few weeks. I got permission to be at the appraisal because I wanted to see how it worked and because I'm nervous about everything right now. Th…
I own a handful of raw parcels and I hold them a long time. One of them borders a subdivision that's been creeping toward it for about six years, and I wanted a read on what the g…
I'm still in the researching phase on land, mostly holding patterns and figuring out what I'd actually do with a tract, but I wanted marketing-grade aerial on a 60 acre piece I wa…
I started this in 2022 by walking into the planning counter with a hand drawing of a cottage over my detached garage. The woman at the counter looked at it for maybe eight seconds…
My cousin found a 1950s ranch that needed everything. His hard money lender covered 80 percent of purchase and most of the rehab budget, and he was about 38 thousand short on the…
This started because my flight got moved and I ended up at a full service hotel near a convention center at one in the morning with nothing to do. I'd been reading about hotel fun…
Been reading about notes for about two months and mostly I've been confused. Every article assumes I already know the words. So I went to a small meetup where somebody was talking…
Sat next to a man in a folding chair at a kids' swim meet last spring. He had a legal pad on his knee with columns of lender names and little marks next to them, and he was updati…
I've been tagging along with a guy from my gym who owns a few buildings, mostly so I can be useful and listen. Saturday he asked me to help him move a folding table into a fourple…
