    #150 - Business Lab Featuring Circa Demo and Disposal w/ Special Guest Ricky Beliveau (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Eleven weeks into a new demo and disposal company, a text from the business partner laid it out plainly: $70,700 in revenue, about $6,000 a week, against a burn rate that requires $20,000 just to hold even. In this first Real Estate Addicts Business Lab, the hot seat opens the books on Circa Demo. The transfer station lines eating billable hours, the overtime nobody planned for, and the $15 hourly margin left after payroll taxes and an $80,000 truck. Listen in as Ricky Beliveau is back as we pul

    #149 - Shooting the Shit w/ Ricky Beliveau (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    When a two-and-a-half-acre Weston lot landed in Ricky's inbox at a price he could hardly believe, his first thought wasn't excitement, it was "why am I getting screwed here?" In his fourth appearance he walks through the two-week due diligence sprint that followed, from the zoning attorney and the wetland flags to the 1943 setback rules that determine whether the whole thing pencils, plus what's quietly killing Boston projects and the helical pile surprise that cut one deal's IRR from 70% to 40%

    #148 - Rents Are Falling While Prices Keep Climbing (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Greater Boston's median single-family price just crossed a million dollars, and Marc, Ray, and Dan spend this episode explaining why the math no longer works for anyone hoping to build their way out of it. They dig into why a triple decker now costs seven figures to construct, why Boston's permit numbers have fallen to a fraction of what they should be, and the strange split where rents are softening while sale prices refuse to move.

    #147 - Assessing, Retroactive Tax Bills and When to Record Condo Docs (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The guys trade war stories from the least glamorous corner of real estate. The assessor's office. They get into a retroactive Newton tax bill that landed on unsuspecting condo buyers, a phantom drainage easement that appears on the city's GIS map but nowhere in seventy-five years of title records, and the one filing that quietly turns a six-unit building into six far more expensive condominiums. If you own property, are underwriting your next acquisition, or have never once pulled your own prope

    #146 - Why We'd Rather Overpay Than Hire Employees (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    A listener wrote in asking how you build a real estate empire when you're spread too thin to hire anyone — and the answer flips conventional penny-pinching on its head. The guys break down why the smartest operators gladly send a $100 Uber SUV to grab drip edge, tip drivers to wait, and befriend neighbors instead of drowning in thousand-cut tasks, all while AI quietly handles the admin. Along the way, they unpack the new realtor.com affordability report cards and why Indiana quietly took the cro
