Everything I read frames bird dogging as the thing you do for six months before you start wholesaling or buying, which makes it sound like an internship you assign yourself. But s…
I've been reading pro formas instead of buying anything, and the same pattern shows up in nearly all of them. Rent grows 3 percent a year, expenses grow 2 percent, and by year fiv…
I've been putting money aside toward a first parcel and got stuck on something simple. Land banking produces no income, so the property tax bill has to be paid out of something el…
Putting together the services side for two independent living lite properties, 140 and 165 units. Scope is light housekeeping every other week, a scheduled van three days a week,…
I'm looking at a stabilized 140-unit facility in a secondary market where nothing new has broken ground in four years. Current mix is 110 drive-up non-climate and 30 climate-contr…
A borrower brings you 300 acres, appraised at 1.6 million, and the appraiser splits it into 900k of land and 700k of standing timber. Underwriting question that I keep going back…
Sitting with a proposal I'm about to sign as the buyer, and the structure is bothering me more than the price. It's $1,900 a month for a mid size agent team and the deliverables a…
I've toured four age-restricted rental communities in the last month, which for someone who was selling insurance a year ago is a lot of clubhouses. Two of them were amenity heavy…
I want something to show an investor by the end of next month and I've got about $300 and four free weekends. Two ways to spend it and I keep flipping. Option one is data. A list…
A friend forwarded me a conversion fund package, 340 pages, and I've been reading it in the wrong order for a week. The PPM is long and mostly risk factors written to protect the…
Two scopes for the same 1950s three-bed came across my desk this week, both written by the same investor, and I've been staring at them for days. Scope A is 38k. Kitchen, bath, fl…
Went through a portfolio memo last week that priced 14 facilities at a blended cap and then, on page 31, asserted a 75 basis point compression on exit "reflecting portfolio scale.…
I've read management agreements on five apartment deals in the last two years as a passive investor, and the base fee is almost never the interesting part. Everybody's at 2.5% to…
Standing rule in most of the training I've read is that you never reference how you found the owner and you never put their foreclosure in the first line. Lead with help, let them…
I've been sitting in on pricing conversations at two shops in the same metro, similar door counts, and they've gone opposite directions on the same math. Shop A charges 10.5% of c…
I'm at month 11 in the current house and there are two orders I can do the next steps in, and lenders have told me different things about which one helps. Order A. Find a tenant,…
I've got a build decision to make and it changes what I spend the next year on. Option one is depth. Two states, learn them properly, one attorney per state on retainer, contract…
Wholesaling isn't my plan, I buy and hold and my first property closes later this year. But my brother in law has been in a five person referral group for four months and I've bee…
I buy this kind of work, I don't produce it. I asked two content people for a quote on writing descriptions for a small portfolio of notes-backed rentals I help market, and one of…
I own a service business and I've been lurking here a couple of months, so treat me as the beginner in the thread. I want to understand the two exits before I get near a contract.…
