A flipper I've worked with twice wants to bring his GC into the deal directly on the next three houses. Structure he's proposing is that I fund purchase and rehab, the GC takes a…
I've been drafting a service agreement for a lead-finding arrangement and I got stuck on the scope clause, which forced me to answer a question I hadn't actually answered. What am…
Signed a JV on 11 acres about 20 minutes out from a growing secondary market. Seller was an out of state heir who wanted it gone by year end. I got it at 88k on a 60 day contract…
A delinquent tax notice landed in my mailbox in March. The county still had me as the mailing address from when I owned the place, so a bill for a house I sold two years ago came…
Running a small content team, four people including me. Our per piece production time on short form has dropped hard over the last year, editing and drafting assisted. A reel that…
Writing this for people at my level, which is the level where you read the deck and think you understand it. Two and a half years ago I put $75k into a 60 unit ground-up apartment…

A few deals in on the acquisition side and I've hit a wall where I can find contracts and then sit on them for two weeks. So I've been looking at the other direction, whether I co…
Setup: I do 6 to 9 flips a year, thin margins, and I was drowning in bookkeeping labor. Last January I built out rules in my accounting software plus an AI categorization tool sit…
Five years into running a small service business, I've found my own books are simple enough that I do them myself in an afternoon a month. Now I've picked up two rentals and a fri…
Trying to work out the order of operations here and I keep going in a circle. Every dispo person I've messaged has some version of the same reply, which is send me the contract an…
I've read the deal-by-deal syndication material and I follow it. Sponsor finds a building, raises money for that building, buys it, runs it, sells it, splits the profit. The fund…

I have a deck from a lien buying operation quoting "up to 18% statutory" for one state, and then I went and pulled the actual results page from a county in that same state and the…
I have about 400k sitting in short term paper that I want moved into something secured by the end of the year. Tax liens keep coming back on my list because the return is set by s…
