My work is on the service side of real estate with a small team under me, and I keep looking over the fence at commercial wholesaling. My understanding is that you don't need mone…
Trying to work out the monthly overhead on a 4-bed before I go further. I've seen co-living operators mention things like room-level listing sites, rent collection apps, and somet…
I've done a few small value-add residential deals and I'm hitting the ceiling on how much of my week they take. Net lease looks like the answer, except every listing that has a te…
Since the incentive became permanent under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the thing I'm seeing on the acquisition side is that sellers of dirt inside likely tracts have figured o…
A sponsor with two apartment deals and roughly 60 LPs floated about $2,500 a month for me to handle investor relations. When I asked what that means in hours he said quarterly upd…
Comparing two LP offerings, both acquiring small parks in the same three states, and the assumptions are far enough apart that one of them has to be wrong. Fund A: 5-year hold, $2…
My plan is one small property, hold it, then reassess in a couple of years. Everything I read about investor-focused buyer's agents assumes the client is buying repeatedly and tre…
Parcel under contract at $18,000, 22 acres, rural county at the edge of a metro that's been growing outward. Contract is a standard purchase agreement, and/or assigns, 21 day clos…
I've been screening income names and a handful of mortgage REITs come up with yields between 11% and 15%. Everything else in the REIT list is at 4% or 5%. I read a comment somewhe…
I run framing and finish crews so the construction side isn't the confusing part for me. The investing vocabulary is. I've heard people call a job a gut when all they did was rip…
I run the construction side of a small group that's put together two deals, and I've been handed the job of "getting our investor stuff off email." We have 31 LPs total. One vendo…
So I've been reading about this for about two weeks and I think I've managed to confuse myself. Some articles talk about buying a lien and earning 16% or 18%, some talk about buyi…
Wholesale acquisitions, about 900 inbound seller leads a month across cold calling, PPC, and direct mail, three people on the phones, average of 4 to 6 contracts. I want intake, s…
The niece handling her aunt's house told me the insurance is still in place and I took that as settled. Then someone told me a homeowners policy stops covering a house once nobody…
Few deals in. My route is basically maxed, I can't get more hours in the car without giving up the parts of the business that actually close things. Every answer I find online say…
Trying to work out the operations side of these before my team touches one. The way it's been described to me, we'd get the seller's online login and just make the payment from ou…
There's a dead two-story motel on a state route, 12 units, each with its own three-quarter bath and no kitchen. Asking is low enough that I'd be in around $28k a door before any w…
Deal I'm working: contract with the seller at $186,000, cash buyer verbally at $200,000. So $14,000 of spread. Seller is an heir who inherited the house from her mother. She think…
Before I put money into buying leads I modeled what the seller side actually costs in my metro. Paid search seller leads land around $34 delivered from the two vendors I got quote…
Reading through a small operator's setup, five furnished units in a metro with one large employer nearby. Four of the five units have been filled by placements from that one emplo…
