I am exploring to learn analysis on the commercial transactions. I did not find that in the Search nor the Property Type "CP" is not listed in the All Properties search. Please share your thoughts

Creating a CMA for commercial property is a bit different than residential because it depends more on income and use. Youll want to:1. Gather property details size, type, zoning, NOI (if leased), etc.2. Use comps look at recently sold similar properties (from MLS, LoopNet, CoStar, etc.)3. Check price per sq ft & cap rates especially if the property is leased.4. Adjust for differences like location, condition, or income stream.5. Present your findings show comps, numbers, and your suggested range.For income properties, I usually use the income approach (NOI cap rate = value). For vacant or owner-user buildings, I go with sales comps per square foot.Also make sure to check with your broker if your allowed to work with commercial property. In many cases due to commercial not being your area of experience your broker will encourage you to refer the lead to an agent who specializes in commercial property. We have a few agents on my team who, solely focus on commercial. Feel free to reach out.Daniel@thesethbrothers.com 713.992.1595

I had 2 listings that were non-qm loans. Ultimately the seller delisted. Since no one was willing to to do that type of loan. How to handle these types of listings?

Not sure if Im understanding this correctly, but are your clients specifically looking only for Non-QM loans? Or are they avoiding them altogether? The way the question reads, it could go either way.If your clients are hesitant to work with Non-QM loans, heres how Id approach it:Ive had listings where the buyer came in with a Non-QM loan, and the seller ended up walking away, not because of the buyers qualifications, but simply because they didnt fully understand the loan type. Thats where we, as agents, really need to step in.Non-QM loans are often used by self-employed buyers, realtors, contractors, small business owners, folks who may not meet traditional lending guidelines but have strong, verifiable income and are committed to the deal.In these situations, I recommend connecting directly with the buyers lender. Getting a clearer picture of the financing can help you communicate it more confidently to your seller. The more transparent we are, the easier it is for clients to make informed choices.At the end of the day, our role is to guide, educate, and advocate for our clients, not just through the showing process, but all the way through negotiations and financing discussions too.Happy to help if you want to talk through a specific deal.

I’m working with a buyer who’s looking for a solid fix-and-flip opportunity. I’d love to hear how you help your investor clients determine if a property has strong potential. What strategies, numbers, or insights do you focus on to guide their decision-making?

I work with several investor clients, and when it comes to fix-and-flip properties, having a clear system to evaluate deals is key. Here's how I typically help clients break it down:What I Focus On for Fix-and-Flip Clients:1. ARV (After Repair Value):We start by estimating the ARV using nearby comps that are fully renovated and have sold recently. Ideally, they should be within a half-mile radius and sold in the last 36 months.2. Repair Costs:I recommend having a trusted contractor walk the property ASAP. In the meantime, I help estimate repair costs based on square footage and condition (light, medium, or heavy rehab).3. Purchase Price vs. Total Investment:We look at what the investor would pay for the home plus the estimated rehab budget and holding costs.4. Profit Margin & Exit Strategy:Every investor has different goals, but most are looking for at least a 1020 return on investment or a minimum $25K$50K net profit depending on price point.Common Wholesaler / Investor Formula:Most wholesalers and experienced flippers use this simple formula to quickly screen deals:MAO (Max Allowable Offer) = (ARV 70) Repair CostsARV = After Repair Value70 = Common target to account for profit, holding costs, closing costs, etc.Repair Costs = Estimated rehab budgetThis formula helps investors stay in the green after all is said and done. In todays market, some are adjusting that 70 to 7580, depending on how hot the area is or how fast things are moving.Extra Insight:I also help my investor clients:Pull historic pricing data to see trendsCheck for upcoming zoning changes or developmentsEvaluate school ratings, rental comps, and resale compsGet quick feedback from local contractors or stagers if needed.

I have a signed contract (1-4 Family Residential Contract) with the seller. The seller did not sign the HOA addendum and Non Realty Items Addendum. How long does the seller have to sign them?

If you and the seller have both signed the main 1-4 Family Residential Contract (TREC) and it has an effective date, the contract is binding, but only for the terms that were agreed upon.However, if important addenda like the HOA Addendum or Non-Realty Items Addendum were included or referenced in the contract, they need to be signed for their terms to be enforceable.There is no automatic deadline unless:A specific deadline was written into the contract (such as in the Special Provisions or an Amendment).You or your agent sent over the unsigned addenda with a request for signature and a stated deadline.Without those, the seller can technically delay, but it puts both parties in a gray area.Have your agent or broker formally request the seller sign the missing addenda ASAP, ideally with a quick deadline (e.g., 2448 hours). If the addenda were referenced in the original contract and not signed, this could lead to confusion, delays, or problems with underwriting or closing.If the seller refuses or delays too long, your agent may need to consult your broker or a real estate attorney to decide how to proceed or whether an amendment is needed.

What is the typical pet maximum on a rental?

How Many Pets Are Allowed in a Rental?If you're renting and have pets, one of the first things you'll want to check is the pet policy. Every landlord or property manager is different, but there are a few common rules youll usually see.Most Rentals Allow 12 PetsA lot of rentals will allow up to two pets. That could be two dogs, two cats, or one of each. Some landlords are more flexible, especially with single-family homes, but apartments usually stick to the limit.Weight Limits and Breed RulesSome places have weight limitsusually around 25 to 50 pounds per pet. There are also places that wont allow certain dog breeds, especially bigger ones like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or German Shepherds. Its always best to ask upfront if your pet is allowed.Extra Costs for PetsMost rentals charge something extra if you have pets. That might include:A pet deposit (usually $200$500 per pet)Pet rent (often $15$50 a month per pet)Sometimes a one-time pet fee instead of a depositThese fees help cover any extra cleaning or wear and tear.What About Service Animals?Service animals and emotional support animals are handled differently and usually dont fall under regular pet rulesbut thats something to talk about directly with the landlord if it applies to you.Key TakeawayEvery rental is different, so its always a good idea to ask about the pet policy before you apply. If youre not sure whats allowed or youre looking for a pet-friendly home in the Houston area, Im happy to help! Daniel@thesethbrothers.com 713-992-1595

Tenants been there for 25+ years and have installed 2 coolers in towards the back of the building... its a meat market.

1) Lease agreement is key:The most important factor is what your lease agreement states regarding commercial equipment. 2) Trade fixtures:Equipment considered a "trade fixture" (items installed for business purposes like display counters or signage) can usually be removed by the tenant if they are necessary for business, can be removed without damaging the property, and are removed promptly upon leaving. 3) Landlord's rights:If the lease is silent on equipment removal, the landlord may have the right to consider the equipment as part of the property and potentially seize it if the tenant leaves without proper arrangements. So Layman's terms. If the tenant wants to keep it they can but need to leave the space as it originally was given to them. Feel free to reach out Daniel@thesethbrothers.com
