New Rehabber Investors Need Professional Advice

[Manny Alvarado]

Hello Everyone,

I am Manny and we are from Murfreesboro, TN just a few miles southeast from Nashville.

My partner Ivan and I have been in working in the Multi-Family renovation business for over 10 years and we have worked anywhere from just a simple apartment complex paint job to full exterior and interior renovations. We have done this work for General Contractors and property owners in TN, AL, GA, OH and other states. Our small renovation business has had gross sales of over $1.3 million per year for the past 2 years.

We have solid lines of credit with Home Depot, Sherwin Williams & Pro-build who are our largest suppliers as well as unsecure line of credit with our Bank where we only pay 6.75% APR for the money we take out. This is great for Down payment money and rehab money.

We have been pre-approved for conventional financing and actively looking for our first rehab deal. it has not been easy but we are still looking.

Our Goal is to invest in Real Estate by buying, rehabbing and selling single family homes to generate cash to then buy and hold single and multifamily dwellings.

We buy houses that meet the following criteria:

Distress Properties: (Rehabs)

* Buy Rehab properties at 30% below ARV - Repairs cost. Up to $140.000.00 ARV to fix and flip.

Buy and Hold Properties:

* Buy and Hold in neighborhoods with 5%+ growth in the last 12 months.
* Buy Retail: 20% below FMV up to $150,000.00

Our long term goals are:

Year 1
* Acquire and rehab 2 houses and buy and hold 2 houses for cash-flow.

Year 2
* Acquire and rehab 4 houses and buy and hold 4 houses for cash-flow.

Year 3
* Acquire and rehab 6 houses and buy and hold 6 houses for cash-flow.
